For Loops

[mafrosis]

Ok maybe a stupid question, but in VB can you force a For loop onto the next iteration? Like continue in Java/C. We've got Exit For which is the same as break, but im looking to optimise a loop with a continue type statement.

Cheers guys

Sorry guys, should've spent more time googling first..

Turns out it was never there before - but in the advent of VB.NET 2005 it has finally arrived in the form of:

Continue [For/Do/While]

wasnt that introduced in vb5 or vb6? it seems like i was seeing that a long time ago

You should avoid using Continue if possible. It's a form of GoTo statement and leads to spagetti-ish code. It's better to use If blocks unless they cause readability issues by adding to much indenting. The better option depends on the situation but, all else being equal, Continue would be my second choice.
