Is it posible to make a switch statement look like this:

switch(i)
{
    case <= 50:
        {
            MessageBox.Show("i is less or = 50");
        }
    break;

}

instead of this..

switch(i)
{
    case 1:
    case 2: 
    case 3:
    case 4:
    ....:
    case 50:
        {
            MessageBox.Show("i is less or = 50");
        }
    break;
}

Well, if thats what you want then why not do this:

C#

if(i<=50)
   i = 50;
switch(i)
{    
  case 50:MessageBox.Show("i is less or = 50");        
          break;
  ....
  ....
}

Manipulates i, thus losing the origional value. What is i's value is needed later?

Common, it's all based on situation. If you really want to do something like this, and then you need real value... use temp variable. Assign value of i to some temporary variable and use switch on this temp variable!!!!

Quickest thing I can think of...

C#

int value = 9;

            bool circuit = value <= 50;

            switch (circuit)
            {
                case true:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("true");
                        break;
                    }
                case false:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("false");
                        break;
                    }
            }

            circuit = value <= 50 && value >= 40;

            switch (circuit)
            {
                case true:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("true");
                        break;
                    }
                case false:
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("false");
                        break;
                    }
            }
