I have the following code in my page which works fine although the number of cases is much much bigger. I need to use exactly the same list of cases in other selects but I don't want to have exactly the same code duplicate all over the place.
I have this:
Select Case Request.Cookies("LatestRefer").Value
Case "EZ12"
freeCallNumber = "0800 111 1111"
Case "EW56"
freeCallNumber = "0800 222 2222"
Case "AT34"
freeCallNumber = "0800 333 3333"
Case Else
freeCallNumber = "0800 444 4444"
End Select
I ideally want something like this
Select Case Request.Cookies("cookie1").Value
myGlobalListOfCases()
End Select
Select Case Request.Cookies("cookie2").Value
myGlobalListOfCases()
End Select
Select Case Request.Cookies("cookie3").Value
myGlobalListOfCases()
End Select
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Private Function getFreeCallNumber(ByVal value As String) As String
Select Case value
Case "EZ12"
Return "0800 111 1111"
Case Else
Return "0800 222 2222"
End Select
End Function
And in the page_load:
If Not Request.Cookies("cookie1") is Nothing Then
freeCallnumber = Me.getFreeCallNumber(Request.Cookies("cookie1").Value)
Else
freeCallnumber = Me.getFreeCallNumber(Request.Cookies("cookie2").Value)
End If
This kind of works but there's a slight problem. I have to load the page twice for the phone number to change (or the phone number appears as it should have done on the previous load). Hope this makes sense... it's fairly odd behaviour.
Create a method:
private string getFreeCallNumber(string value)
{
switch (value)
{
case "EZ12":
return "0800 111 1111";
case "EW56":
return "0800 222 2222";
// TODO: Add more switch cases here.
default:
return null;
}
}
When calling it:
string freeCallnumber = this.getFreeCallNumber(Request.Cookies["cookie1"].Value));
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(freeCallNumber))
{
// other logic
}
My guess that it's like this in VB.net:
Private Function getFreeCallNumber(value as String) as String
Select Case value
Case "EZ12"
return "0800 111 1111"
Case "EW56"
return "0800 222 2222"
' TODO: Add more switch cases here.
Case Else
return Nothing
End Select
End Function
