Answer 1

Abuse the ternary operator, at least in C#:

Action result = 
            s == "bar" ? (Action)(() => { Console.WriteLine("bar"); }): 
            s == "foo" ? (Action)(() => { Console.WriteLine("foo"); }) :
                         (Action)(() => { Console.WriteLine(); });

Actually, I take that back... never EVER do this. Use a switch.
