There is not an exact match in C# (as it can be used in VFP in different ways).
One match is 'switch'. Expression result is determined at top and one of sbyte,byte,short,ushort,int,uint,long,ulong,char,string or enum type. In VFP's case statements blocks are implicitly 'broken' and there is no fall through. In C# fall through is not allowed but you must explicitly 'break' (break,go to,return..). ie:
int result = SomeMethod(); 
switch (result)
{
 case 0:
   // ...
   break;
 case 1:
   // ...
  break;
 otherwise
  //...
}
if {} else {} more closely resembles VFP's liberty of using 'do case'. ie:
if ( condition a ) 
   { // do a }
else 
   { 
      if ( condition b ) { // do b }
      else { // do otherwise }
   }
