Control cannot fall through from one case to another?

hi I have these code . What could cause above error ? Thanks state=1 switch (state) { case 1: //do something goto case 2; case 2: //do something goto case 3; case 3: //do something goto case 4; ............ case 100: //do something }

I'm almost speechless! I'll leave it for others to say as I'm in a good mood today. Look up
break(and maybe default: too).Dave

YEUCK! I have copied your code to "Coding Horrors"! This is C#, not C++. Switch blocks cannot fall through in C#, they must end in a break statement. Please, go and look at a C# book under two sections: "switch statement" and "Don't use goto unless you really, really have to"

I need to convert these C++ code into C# code . What's is the easiest way ? thanks state=1 switch (state) { case 1: //do something state++; case 2: //do something if ( ) { state++; } else { state=state+5; } break; case 3: //do something state++; ............ case 100: break; }

Firstly, find the programmer who originally wrote this. Take him outside, and beat him senseless. It's pretty bad code as C++, and can't be directly translated into C# as the later enforces rules to prevent accidental mistakes (such as fall through of cases). Secondly, get out a pen and paper and do a flow diagram of some sort to work out how this spagetti works. Tidy the diagram up so it can be reliably implemented in any language. Re-code into C#. Not a quick job by any means, but it's the companies' (or whoevers') fault for allowing such rubbish to be produced in the first place!

Oh, dear
- Never use goto. It kills babies
- You just drop though each case. Why?
- You do a switch, when you've just set the variable you switch on
- You have one hundred hard-coded cases. Find out how to make that dynamic
- The switch is unnecessary. If you're just dropping through, then it won't make any difference
- You have basically implemented line labels. Why do you have line labels, when you can refactor your code
- No default: option
- The first line of is missing a semicolon

This is a state-machine with a selectable first state. If C# had a "computed goto" (as Fortran has) then the switch would not be necessary. :)

Fixed that for you :)

There are times when a goto can really improve readability, rather than if...if..if..if... etc. Having said that, I don't think I've used one in a non-assembler language for twenty or so years.

If you're a student/junior dev though; the rule is NEVER. You're not experienced enough to ID the few cases where it really is the best choice and will just learn bad habits.

Why use a case at all, it seems pretty procedural to me. You want to execute a block of code in order, your condition isn't really needed since you always increment 'state', so your select case is useless.

Then how do you execute multiple cases in a switch in C#?

I wrote this code to test: int i=int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); switch(i) { case 0: Console.WriteLine(0); goto case 1; case 1: Console.WriteLine(1); break; } This works. If you don't do the goto case 1 you will receive an error, and if you don't do the break at case 1 you will also receive an error. I think the problem with your code is the lack of some "goto case x" or some "break". --- I don't like such gotos, but if that the best way, try finding the lacking gotos / breaks.
