Case statements

Here is an example of how to effectively write a Case statement. This Code is very useful in a prgram multiple outcomes to a problem.

 Dim fries As String
  
 Dim DietState As String 
  
 fries = TextBox1.Text
  
 Select Case creamcake
  
 Case "Eaten"
  
 DietState = "Diet Ruined"
  
 Case "Not Eaten"
  
 DietState = "Diet Not Ruined"
  
 Case Else
  
 DietState = "Didn't check"
  
 End Select
  
 MsgBox DietState
  

If statement that makes one decision

  In this code i will show  an if statement  that makes only one decision. This would be helpful when making a program or application that would have to make one or more decisions.

 Dim scriptEngine as String
  
 If scriptEngine = "VB" Then
  
   runningVB = True
  
 End If
  
 messageBox.Show(runningVB)
  
 In this code many decisions are made.
  
 Dim intW As Integer = 10
  
 If intW > 11 Then
  
   MessageBox.Show("intX > 11")
  
 ElseIf intW < 5 Then  MessageBox.Show("intW < 5")
  
 Else
  
   MessageBox.Show("Fallback code block")
  
 End If
