Select Case Example

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description : Using IF-THEN can be cumbersome, prone to programmer errors and slower to execute. A more efficient construct is SELECT CASE. It is optimized for testing one variable against many conditions.

<html><head>
<TITLE>case.asp</TITLE>
</head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form action="caserespond.asp" method="get">
Your First Name<Input NAME="FirstName" MaxLength=20><p>
Your Last Name<Input NAME="LastName" MaxLength=20><p>
<Input Type=submit><p><Input Type=reset>
</form>
</body></html>

Here Is the Select Case that will determine what the form Input means.

<html><head>
<TITLE>caserespond.asp</TITLE>
</head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<%
fname=Request.QueryString("Firstname")
lname=Request.QueryString("Lastname")
%>
Nice To Meet You <%=fname%> <%=lname%><p>
<%If fname="" then%>
