Switch statement with static fields

Question

Suppose I have a bunch of static fields and I want to use them in switch:

public static string PID_1 = \"12\";
public static string PID_2 = \"13\";
public st         


        

Answer 1

... C# doesn't allow non-const statement inside switch...

If you can't use:

public const string PID_1 = "12";
public const string PID_2 = "13";
public const string PID_3 = "14";

You can use a dictionary :)

....
public static string PID_1 = "12";
public static string PID_2 = "13";
public static string PID_3 = "14";



// Define other methods and classes here

void Main()
{
   var dict = new Dictionary
   {
    {PID_1, ()=>Console.WriteLine("one")},
    {PID_2, ()=>Console.WriteLine("two")},
    {PID_3, ()=>Console.WriteLine("three")},
   };
   var pid = PID_1;
   dict[pid](); 
}
