Pretty new to .NET, but there is probably an easy way of doing this that I'm
missing, other than If..then..else. I have about 6 different "do this" type
statements. I know how to do it the long, long, long way, but I know I'll
have to do this a lot.

If Xcode = 64 Or 160 Or 168 Or 176 Or 184 Or 192 Or 200 Or 208 Or 216 Or 236
Then

do this

elseif Xcode = 128 then

elseif Xcode = 99 then

etc.

Thanks in advance.

If you're using VB.NET, I'd suggest Select/Case. In C#, the equivalent
is switch/case.
