An answer you can find on this site:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp/learn/columns/ask.aspx#switch
The sentence that answers your question is at the end of the paragraph:
The reason this wasnt done was so that developers who were very used to C++
wouldnt have a hard time understanding what a switch statement was doing.
But I agree with you: Simply exiting a switch statement on reaching the end
of a case is much more usefull.
A good message:
This behavior could be added to C# without breaking existing programms. So,
if C#-Designers in future will agree with this, they could simply enhance C#
in that way.
