Do you mean like this in VB?

Code:
Select Case (Variable)
case "xyz"
MsgBox "Hi"
case "abc"
MsgBox "Bye"
End Select

Nope, no official syntax, but a lot of ways to do it. See:

Oh, and if you really want some powerful switch handling, there's always:

(but it's slow as it actually rewrites your code on the fly -- but very cool).
