[Solved] How can I use the same name for two or more different variables in a single C# function? [closed]

You can make the scopes non-overlapping using braces:

switch (something)
{
  case 1: {
    int Number;
  }
  break;

  case 2: {
    float Number;
  }
  break;
}

Going out of scope is the only way a variable name is “deleted” in the sense you are talking about. Notably and unlike some other languages, C# doesn’t allow hiding local variables with other variables in more limited scopes — the scopes have to be non-overlapping (and in C#, that means from the opening brace, not simply the point of declaration!). What I mean is that this code, which is legal in C and C++ (not sure about Java) will cause a compiler error in C#:

int Number;
{
    float Number;
}
