    I have been involved in another ng that is debating the un oo'ness of
    select case statements in VB.net or C#. The consensus seems to be
    avoid them where possible.

    My problem is in vb.net or C# I always seem to get to the point where
    I need them. What am I missing?

    For instance, in the factory pattern how do I avoid using a select in
    the factory to choose which object to create? One answer has been
    CallByName and another is using the app.config or web.config to create
    a coupling between the variable/property of the client and the
    resulting object created by the factory.

    Any opinions out there?

    Thanks,

    Dean
