Question

I have the following switch statement, and when the string foo = "FOO" then the case will trigger two MessageBoxes. But I only get “Dog” popped up and not “Cat“. For some reason, the case only run the first statement then break itself. Why is that?

switch(foo)
{
   case "FOO"
      MessageBox.Show("Dog");
      MessageBox.Show("Cat");
      break;
   case ...
   case ...
}

Unable to reproduce. For example, run this:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string foo = "FOO";
        switch (foo)
        {
            case "FOO":
                MessageBox.Show("Dog");
                MessageBox.Show("Cat");
                break;
        }
    }
}

Both message boxes show up. I suspect something else is going on that you’re not showing us. If you can edit your question to include a short but complete program which does demonstrate the problem, that will be a different matter.
