Is there any significant difference between using if/else and switch-case in C#?

Question

What is the benefit/downside to using a switch statement vs. an if/else in C#. I can\'t imagine there being that big of a difference, other than m

Answer 1

often it will look better - ie will be easier to understand what's going on. Considering the performance benefit will be extremely minimal at best, the view of the code is the most important difference.

So, if the if/else looks better, use it, otherwise use a switch statement.
