Is there a maximum number of items you can have in a switch statement? Looks like I might have approx 25 is this too many? does it affect performance?

Re: Maximum Switch statements

I agree with @CNT , perhaps there's a better way to do it? Care to share some specifics and maybe we can help?

Re: Maximum Switch statements

@vffdd The documentation does not specify any limit. Also there no performance issues because only one branch of the Switch is going to be executed. But....
...having 25 branches doesn't seem very good design let alone maintainability of the code!
