How add "or" in switch statements?

This is what I want to do:

switch(myvar)
{
    case: 2 or 5:
    ...
    break;

    case: 7 or 12:
    ...
    break;
    ...
}

I tried with "case: 2 || 5" ,but it didn't work.

The purpose is to not write same code for different values.

By stacking each switch case, you achieve the OR condition.

switch(myvar)
{
    case 2:
    case 5:
    ...
    break;

    case 7:
    case 12:
    ...
    break;
    ...
}

You do it by stacking case labels:

switch(myvar)
{
    case 2:
    case 5:
    ...
    break;

    case 7: 
    case 12:
    ...
    break;
    ...
}

case 2:
case 5:
do something
break;

Case-statements automatically fall through if you don't specify otherwise (by writing break). Therefor you can write

switch(myvar)
{
   case 2:
   case 5:
   {
      //your code
   break;
   }

// etc... }

You may do this as of C# 9.0:

switch(myvar)
{
    case 2 or 5:
        // ...
        break;

    case 7 or 12:
        // ...
        break;
    // ...
}
