Code Inspection: Some values of the enum are not processed inside switch statement

Last modified: 21 July 2022

When using a switch statement with an enum, it is not required to have a case statement for each enum value — if some values do not have cases, the switch will do nothing for such values.

Although missing cases might be intended by the author, more often than not it is a consequence of adding a new value to the enum and forgetting to update the switch accordingly.

ReSharper flags such switch statements as potential issues and suggests generating case statements for unhandled values.
