break;
case Rectangle s when (s.Length == s.Height):
WriteLine($"{s.Length} x {s.Height} square");

WriteLine($"{r.Length} x {r.Height} rectangle");

We get a lot of requests for addditions to the C# language and today
I’m going to talk about one of the more common ones – switch on type.
Switch on type looks like a pretty useful and straightforward feature:
Add a switch-like construct which switches on the type of the
expression, rather than the value. This might look something like
this:
switch typeof(e) {
case int: ... break;
case string: ... break;
case double: ... break;
default: ... break;
}
This kind of statement would be extremely useful for adding virtual
method like dispatch over a disjoint type hierarchy, or over a type
hierarchy containing types that you don’t own. Seeing an example like
this, you could easily conclude that the feature would be
straightforward and useful. It might even get you thinking “Why don’t
those #*&%$ lazy C# language designers just make my life easier and
add this simple, timesaving language feature?”Unfortunately, like many ‘simple’ language features, type switch is
not as simple as it first appears. The troubles start when you look at
a more significant, and no less important, example like this:
class C {}
interface I {}
class D : C, I {}
switch typeof(e) {
case C: … break;
case I: … break;
default: … break;
}
