Switch case in C# - a constant value is expected

Question

My code is as follows:

public static void Output<T>(IEnumerable<T> dataSource) where T : class {        dataSourceName = (typeof(T).Name);     switch (dataSourceName)     {         case (string)typeof(CustomerDetails).Name.ToString(); :             var t = 123;             break;         default:             Console.WriteLine("Test");     } } 

But this is not working. The case statement is giving me an error saying that a constant variable is expected. Please help guys thank you!

Answer 1

See C# switch statement limitations - why?

Basically Switches cannot have evaluated statements in the case statement. They must be statically evaluated.
