Bad and good
Bad becuse they called goto.
Good beacuse it help you to define a way a good one in a switch 
sometimes i have to write smth like
switch (x){
    case 1 : code_1 ;break
    case 2 :    code_2 ;break
    case 3 :         code3+code 1:break
    case 4 :       code 4+code 2:break
    default : break;
};
so in C# :
switch (x){
    case 1 :code_1;
    case 2 : code_2;
    case 3 : code 3 goto 1;
    case 4 : code_4 goto 2;
};
more simple :-)
