== Why is this an issue?
Having all branches of a `Select Case` or `If` chain with the same implementation indicates a problem.
In the following code:
[source,vbnet]
----
Dim b As Integer = If(a > 12, 4, 4) // Noncompliant
If b = 0 Then // Noncompliant
DoTheThing()
Else
DoTheThing()
End If
Select Case i // Noncompliant
Case 1
DoSomething()
Case 2
DoSomething()
Case 3
DoSomething()
Case Else
DoSomething()
End Select
----
Either there is a copy-paste error that needs fixing or an unnecessary `Select Case` or `If` chain that needs removing.
=== Exceptions
This rule does not apply to `If` chains without `Else`, nor to `Select Case` without a `Case Else` clause.
[source,vbnet]
----
If b = 0 Then ' No issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
DoTheThing()
ElseIf
DoTheThing()
End If
----
