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

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

But depends heavily on the possibilities that you're trying to account for, but I try to use a switch statement whenever possible.
