The ``Select...Case`` statement should be used only to clearly define some new branches in the control flow. As soon as a case clause contains too many statements this highly decreases the readability of the overall control flow statement. In such case, the content of the case clause should be extracted into a dedicated procedure. == Noncompliant Code Example With the default threshold of 3: ---- Select Case number Case 1 To 5 ' Noncompliant: 4 statements in the case MethodCall1("") MethodCall2("") MethodCall3("") MethodCall4("") Case Else ' ... End Select ---- == Compliant Solution ---- Select Case number Case 1 To 5 DoSomething() Case Else ' ... End Select ... Sub DoSomething() MethodCall1("") MethodCall2("") MethodCall3("") MethodCall4("") End Sub ----
