A bit late to the game for this question, but in recent changes introduced in C# 7 (Available by default in Visual Studio 2017/.NET Framework 4.6.2), range-based switching is now possible with the switch statement.

Example:

int i = 63;

switch (i)
{
    case int n when (n >= 100):
        Console.WriteLine($"I am 100 or above: {n}");
        break;

    case int n when (n < 100 && n >= 50 ):
        Console.WriteLine($"I am between 99 and 50: {n}");
        break;

    case int n when (n < 50):
        Console.WriteLine($"I am less than 50: {n}");
        break;
}

Notes:

• The parentheses ( and ) are not required in the when condition, but are used in this example to highlight the comparison(s).
• var may also be used in lieu of int. For example: case var n when n >= 100:.
