switch-statement

C#'s switch statement can compile to a CIL switch instruction, or if/else's, depending on the cases in the statement as mentioned here. Is there a way to force the compiler to always generate the if/else variant in a block of code?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
