I've used languages in the past that allowed one to declare a set of values and then do an 'if' statement against that set... for example:

----------------------
procedure_A_ok = [1, 2, 9];
procedure_B_ok = [2, 3, 9];

v1 = 2

If (v1 == procedure_A_ok) Print ("procedure_A_ok");
------------------------

Output window:
procedure_A_ok

Is this construct available in NS/C# ? I couldn't find anything similar in the User doc... but it could be because I don't know what it is called... I did find the multiple case / Switch logic, but I don't really want that.

Thanks!

Hi Saroj,

I would do something like this,

if (variable1==1 && variable2==2 && variable3==9)v1 == procedure_A_ok;

I would use an array or list and check to see if the value exists in the array.

This is from one of my strategies.

 

Code

private double NearestAbove()         {         double _retval = 0;                      double [] _array = {N28[0], N18[0], N08[0], P18[0], P28[0], P38[0], P48[0], P58[0], P68[0], P78[0], P88[0], PP18[0], PP28[0]};                  if (_array[0] > 0)             _retval = _array[0];         else             return 0;                  for (int x = _array.Length; x > 0; x--)         {             //Print("Above: x - 1 =" + (x-1).ToString() + ", _array = " + _array[x-1]);             if (_array[x-1] > Close[0])                 _retval = _array[x-1];                      }

The difference between a real programmer and a guy like me who counts on his fingers.

Thanks, RJay...that's basically what I'm doing except "or" instead of "and"

Thanks, Mike... that looks good... another code snippet!

LOL... know exactly how you feel.. my problem is that I've used so many different languages in the past... hard to keep straight which is which...

if (variable1==1 || variable2==2 || variable3==9)v1 == procedure_A_ok;

In .net 3.5 you can do this much more elegantly using linq.. too bad we can't use .net 3.5 until the NT7 beta is ready probably in the next year or two

hopefully by that time, I'll have a clue about utilizing .net 3.5 or .net anything for that matter..
