rspec/rules/S126/vbnet/rule.adoc

This rule applies whenever an ``If`` statement is followed by one or more ``ElseIf`` statements; the final ``ElseIf`` should be followed by an ``Else`` statement.

The requirement for a final ``Else`` statement is defensive programming.
The ``Else`` statement should either take appropriate action or contain a suitable comment as to why no action is taken. This is consistent with the requirement to have a final ``Case Else`` clause in a ``Select Case`` statement.

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
If x = 0 Then
    DoSomething()
ElseIf x = 1 Then
    DoSomethingElse()
End If
----

== Compliant Solution

----
If x = 0 Then
    DoSomething()
ElseIf x = 1 Then
    DoSomethingElse()
Else
    Throw New ArgumentException("...")
End If
----
