You're welcome , Stephen ... I assume you're talking about the switch case?

>>T-SQL supports CASE ... check it out in BOL. I guess I'm unclear as to whether you're wanting this in a Stored Proc or in your C# code. From the looks of what you've posted here, it looks like you're trying to form a SQL command to pass to your backend maybe? (I don't do it this way, as I always use SP's ... but that's another topic <g>).

>>Anyway, C# has a case statement ... it's called "switch case" and (you can look it up in help, but ...) the syntax is:
>>

>>switch (expression)
>>{
>>    case constant-expression :
>>        //code here
>>        break;
>>
>>    // however many case statements you need
>>
>>    // the default is optional
>>    default :
>>        // code here
>>        break;
>>}
