>Hi everybody,
>In VFP I would use CASE expression. Is there any way to simplify this code?

    // I don't know the .NET syntax, but make a copy first with the upper-case conversion and do a test on the string
    String foo = mkvp.Key.ToUpperCase();
    
    // And put each entry in an else..if block, that way you're not testing all conditions every time
    if (foo.equals("PRI_KEY"))
       groupMember.PrimaryKey = Convert.ToInt32(mkvp.Value);
       
    else if (foo.equals("FIRST"))
       groupMember.FirstName = mkvp.Value;

    else if (foo.equals("LAST"))
       groupMember.LastName = mkvp.Value;

    else if (foo.equals("GSTNO"))
       groupMember.GuestNo = Convert.ToInt64(mkvp.Value);

    else if (foo.equals("NOTES"))
       groupMember.Notes = mkvp.Value;
