In the previous lesson, we have learned the If…Then…Else control structure. In this lesson, you will learn another way to control the program flow in Visual Basic 2010, that is, the Select Case control structure. Select Case control structure is slightly different from the If….Else…Then control structure. The difference is that the Select Case control structure typically only make a decision on one expression. On the other hand, the If …Then…Else statement control structure may evaluate only one expression, \u00a0or it may also compute entirely different dimensions. Select Case is preferred when there exist multiple conditions.<\/p>\n

10.1 The Select Case…End Select Structure<\/h3>\n

The syntax of the Select Case control structure is as follows:<\/p>\n

Select Case test expression\r\nCase expression list 1\r\n Block of statements\r\nCase expression list 2\r\n Block of  Statements\r\n.\r\n.\r\nCase Else\r\n Block of  Statements\r\nEnd Select<\/pre>\n
