Make this code snippet better

I have a program that has the following code:

foreach (string section in DataAccessLayer.AcceptedSections)
{
    switch (section)
    {
        case "Section1":
            Console.WriteLine("Section 1");
            break;
        case "Section2":
            Console.WriteLine("Section 2");
            break;
        case "Section3":
            Console.WriteLine("Section 3");
            break;
        default:
            Console.WriteLine("Default section");
            break;
    }                    
}

Is there anyway i can do what this code does without providing the section's string again within the case?开发者_开发技巧 The DataAccessLayer.AcceptedSections is dynamic and i don't want to have to add another section case to my code, rebuild and redeploy every time a new section comes on board. It's Friday and my mind is not working very well.

For Example: I don't want to add the following code when Section 4 gets added to the database:

case "Section4":
    Console.WriteLine("Section 4");
     break;

If the string is always "SectionN", you could just handle it directly:

if (section.StartsWith("Section"))
    Console.WriteLine(section.Insert(7, " "));
else
    Console.WriteLine("Default Section");

---

Have a Dictionary<string,Action<T>> that is keyed by section. This will completely replace the switch statement.

Invoke the corresponding action:

foreach (string section in DataAccessLayer.AcceptedSections)
{
    myActionsDictionary[section]();
}

---

If this is all data-driven I suggest you just return some other display value from the database along with that identifier string

Table AcceptedSections

Name = "Section1"
DisplayName = "Section 1"

Then you can just just return the DisplayName

---

If it is not you'll have to handle this like you're doing now or you could create an enum with an attribute for display:

public enum AcceptedSections
{
    [Description("Default Section")]
    Default,
    [Description("Section 1")]
    Section1,
    [Description("Section 2")]
    Section2,
    [Description("Section 3")]
    Section3,
    [Description("Section 4")]
    Section4
}
// writing this made me kind woozy... what a terrible enum

which will allow you to write something like this:

foreach (AcceptedSections section in AcceptedSections.GetValues())
{
    Console.WriteLine(section.GetDescription());
}

where GetDescription() is a simple method that returns that custom attribute on the enum
