Bonnie,
This is what I understood how switch works, or I would prefer to say "does not work" <g>. I am surprised that such a highly touted language as C# does not have a more flexible switch/do case. In VB you can at least use ELSEIF. But in C# I will have to do a lot of IF/ELSE/IF/ELSE, and so on.
Thank you.
P.S. Please ignore the following. This is just a test:
