Switch Statements

Question

Hi I have a program which uses a Switch statement.

Based on the case chosen I want a variable to be set to allow one of two options either "one" or "zero".

I have tired to use an OR statement within the case but it hasn't worked (See below).

Does anyone know a way around this? At the moment it is only allowing one value which is "one" but I want it to allow either "one" or "Zero".

Thanks in advance.

Switch (PLCData)

{

Case "01"

Message ="one";

AllowedValue ="one" || AllowedValue ="zero";

break;

Case "02"

}

Well a variable can only have one value at a time. However have you considered using a 'Flags' enum which enables you to combine alternative values? [Flags] enum AllowableValues { Zero = 1 One = 2 } // ... string PLCData = 01; AllowableValues AllowedValue = AllowableValues.Zero; // default say switch (PLCData) { case 01: Message =one; AllowedValue = AllowableValues.Zero | AllowableValues.One; break; case 02: // blah break; } Console.WriteLine(AllowedValue); // Zero One
