Is it possible to use pattern matching here?

I want smth like this:

var isInbound = entity.LegData!.Location.LatestArrivalStationIataCode == "SVO";
var isOutbound = entity.LegData!.Location.LatestDepartureStationIataCode == "SVO";

return new PresentationModel
{
     Terminal = 
         isInbound => entity.LegData!.Location.ArrivalTerminal
         isOutbound => entity.LegData!.Location.DepartureTerminal
}

var isInbound = entity.LegData!.Location.LatestArrivalStationIataCode == "SVO";
var isOutbound = entity.LegData!.Location.LatestDepartureStationIataCode == "SVO";

return new PresentationModel
{
     Terminal = 
         isInbound => entity.LegData!.Location.ArrivalTerminal
         isOutbound => entity.LegData!.Location.DepartureTerminal
}

var terminal = (isInbound, isOutbound) switch
{
     (false, true) => "Inbound",
     (true, false) => "Outbound",
     _ => ""
};

var terminal = (isInbound, isOutbound) switch
{
     (false, true) => "Inbound",
     (true, false) => "Outbound",
     _ => ""
};

i know this but it looks ugly

I was about to propose exactly that lol

you could add names, like

(isInbound: false, isOutbound: true) => ...,
(isInbound: true, isOutbound: false) => ...,
_ => oopsie

(isInbound: false, isOutbound: true) => ...,
(isInbound: true, isOutbound: false) => ...,
_ => oopsie

to me that helps it would be great if you could assign constants like

const (bool, bool) Inbound = (true, false);
var terminal = (isInbound, isOutbound) switch {
    Inbound => "Inbound",
    ...
};

const (bool, bool) Inbound = (true, false);
var terminal = (isInbound, isOutbound) switch {
    Inbound => "Inbound",
    ...
};

but you can't bu you could 'parse' it, although this starts to be too much for me (maybe) or you can wait for discriminated unions (sarcasm)

Here's another pattern:

return new PresentationModel
{
  Terminal = entity.LegData?.Location switch
  {
    { LatestArrivalStationIataCode: "SVO", LatestDepartureStationIataCode: not "SVO" } arrivalLocation => arrivalLocation.ArrivalTerminal,
    { LatestArrivalStationIataCode: not "SVO", LatestDepartureStationIataCode: "SVO" } departureLocation => departureLocation.DepartureTerminal,
    _ => throw new InvalidOperationException("no location provided or invalid station codes set")
  }
};

return new PresentationModel
{
  Terminal = entity.LegData?.Location switch
  {
    { LatestArrivalStationIataCode: "SVO", LatestDepartureStationIataCode: not "SVO" } arrivalLocation => arrivalLocation.ArrivalTerminal,
    { LatestArrivalStationIataCode: not "SVO", LatestDepartureStationIataCode: "SVO" } departureLocation => departureLocation.DepartureTerminal,
    _ => throw new InvalidOperationException("no location provided or invalid station codes set")
  }
};

Could use some terseness with the variable names I suppose. Note that for this one to work, the "SVO" string needs to be a constant.
