[SOLVED] C# Control cannot fall through from one case label to another?

michaelinux · 02-27-2011, 08:33 PM

I'm having this problem with this piece of code, and i don't really get what the problem is, maybe is because i am already too sleepy to concentrate enough but maybe you guys can help me:

switch(plazo){
case 1:
plazo = 12;
break;
case 2:
plazo = 24;
break;
case 3:
plazo = 36;
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("Ingrese un plazo valido de 1 a 3");
}

sorry if you don't understand the messages printing, it's Spanish.
anyway the error says Control cannot fall through from one case label to another
and it highlights the switch statement, i had this switch within a do-while loop, and i thought that might be the problem. but it wasn't

i hope you can help me.
many thanks

You are getting that error because in C#, every case needs to end with either goto, break, or return. The proper way for your example would be the following:

Code:

switch(plazo){
case 1:
plazo = 12;
break;
case 2:
plazo = 24;
break;
case 3:
plazo = 36;
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("Ingrese un plazo valido de 1 a 3");
break;
}

Thank you very much that break solved it.
