Return to Top

[mclellan]

Is there a way in VB.NET to return to the top of your for loop?

for x = 1 to 10

if x = 2 then [** go to the top of the loop and skip code underneath **]

do stuff here

next

Thanks
Barry

Do ..

For...
...
IF x = 2 then exit for

do stuff here

Next

Loop until ?

As long as your logic avoids a continuous loop i.e. you need an exit point for the outer loop. You also need to decide how the outer loop handles (x never = 2).

Hi techsmith,

Sorry, it wasn't really about the if/then/else structure, I just wanted to know how to bypass all your code and jump to the top of the loop.

I belive C++ and Java have a 'continue' statement, but I can't find one in VB.NET.

'Exit For' is the equivalent of continue i.e. jump to the next item in the For...Next iteration and skip remaining code in For Next block for current item.

I added the outer loop as I misunderstood your question thinking that you wanted to re-start the For...Next loop when a condition is met.
