Overview
This rule concerns specifying all the missing cases for a switch expression. A switch expression is considered incomplete with missing cases in following scenarios:
- When an enum switch expression is missing cases for one or more enum members.
- When the fall-through case
_
is missing.
Options
This rule has no associated code-style options.
Example
enum E
{
A,
B
}
class C
{
// Code with violations
int M(E e)
{
// IDE0072: Add missing cases
return e switch
{
E.A => 0,
_ => -1,
};
}
// Fixed code
int M(E e)
{
return e switch
{
E.A => 0,
E.B => 1,
_ => -1,
};
}
}

#pragma warning disable IDE0072
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0072
