Razor VB Logic
Conditional logic in Razor using VB enables you to make decisions and control the flow of your code based on certain conditions. VB supports statements like If, ElseIf, Else, and Select Case, allowing you to implement flexible logic in your applications.
Key Topics
If-Else Statements
Example
@Code
Dim age As Integer = 20
If age >= 18 Then
Response.Write("<p>You are eligible to vote.</p>")
Else
Response.Write("<p>You are not eligible to vote.</p>")
End If
End Code
Explanation: This example uses an If-Else statement to check if a person is eligible to vote based on their age.
Ternary-Like Operator
Example
@Code
Dim isMember As Boolean = True
Dim message As String = If(isMember, "Welcome, member!", "Please sign up.")
End Code
<p>@message</p>
Explanation: The If operator in VB acts similarly to the ternary operator in C#, enabling concise conditional logic for assigning values.
Select Case
Example
@Code
Dim day As String = "Monday"
Select Case day
Case "Monday"
Response.Write("<p>Start of the workweek.</p>")
Case "Friday"
Response.Write("<p>End of the workweek.</p>")
Case Else
Response.Write("<p>It’s a regular day.</p>")
End Select
End Code
Explanation: The Select Case statement provides a clear structure for handling multiple predefined cases based on the value of a variable.
