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
