Some custom swtich can be created like this. Allows multiple case execution as well

public class ContainsSwitch
{

    List actionList = new List();
    public string Value { get; set; }
    public Action Action { get; set; }
    public bool SingleCaseExecution { get; set; }
    public void Perform( string target)
    {
        foreach (ContainsSwitch act in actionList)
        {
            if (target.Contains(act.Value))
            {
                act.Action();
                if(SingleCaseExecution)
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
    public void AddCase(string value, Action act)
    {
        actionList.Add(new ContainsSwitch() { Action = act, Value = value });
    }
}

Call like this

string m = "abc";
ContainsSwitch switchAction = new ContainsSwitch();
switchAction.SingleCaseExecution = true;
switchAction.AddCase("a", delegate() { Console.WriteLine("matched a"); });
switchAction.AddCase("d", delegate() { Console.WriteLine("matched d"); });
switchAction.AddCase("a", delegate() { Console.WriteLine("matched a"); });

switchAction.Perform(m);
