Example of Using a Switch Activity

To exemplify how to use the Switch activity, we are going to create an automation that asks the user for a number, checks if is odd or even, and depending on that, a different message is written to the Output panel.

Since all odd numbers divided by two have a remainder equal to 1, this project needs only two cases (0 and 1) , yet keep in mind that this activity supports multiple cases.

Create a new sequence.
Create an integer variable, Number.
Add an Input Dialog activity to the Designer panel.
Add a Title and Label to prompt the user for a number.
In the Result field, add the Number variable.
Add a Switch activity, under the Input Dialog.
In the Expression field, type Number mod 2. This verifies if the user’s number is divisible by 2.
In the Default section, add a Write Line activity.
In the Text field, type Number.ToString + " is an even number.".
Click the Add new case line, and in the Case Value field, type 1.
Add a Write Line activity to this case.
In the Text activity, type Number.ToString + " is an odd number.".

The final project should look as in the following screenshot.
Press F5. The automation is executed. Note that the Output panel displays the data correctly.
