if-else-statement

I have a method that checks certain things and returns a Boolean based on those checks. It involves a single branching If section that checks about 5 conditions in sequence. If any of those conditions return true, then the method will return true;. If none of the conditions return true, then the method will return false;. Since the code after the If section will only run if none of the conditions are true, then that code is logically identical to including an actual Else statement.

So is it a better idea to actually write in the Else statement for this kind of situation?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.

Performance of if statement versus switch statement

Hi Everyone, I have an if statement with 16 cases (I am checking the state of four boolean variables). Would there be any value in trying to implement this differently, with nested switch statements perhaps? What is the actual performance gain of a switch statement over an if statement?
