VB.NET Switch Statement GoTo Case

Question

I am writing some code in VB.NET that uses a switch statement but in one of the cases it needs to jump to another block. In C# it would look like this:

Answer 1

Why don't you just refactor the default case as a method and call it from both places? This should be more readable and will allow you to change the code later in a more efficient manner.

Answer 2

Select Case parameter 
    Case "userID"
        ' does something here.
    Case "packageID"
        ' does something here.
    Case "mvrType" 
        If otherFactor Then 
            ' does something here.
        End If 
    Case Else 
        ' does some processing... 
        Exit Select 
End Select

Is there a reason for the goto? If it doesn't meet the if criterion, it will simply not perform the function and go to the next case.

Answer 3

Select Case parameter
    ' does something here.
    ' does something here.
    Case "userID", "packageID", "mvrType"
                ' does something here.
        If otherFactor Then
        Else
            goto case default
        End If
    Case Else
        ' does some processing...
        Exit Select
End Select
