break statement equivalent in VB?Need to quickly write a test app in VB, and this involves porting some
C++ code to VB6. I can't seem to find an equivalent of the break statement - specifically, to allow me to break out of a WHILE loop (without having to resort to 'goto' etc) - whats the equivalent in VB? Frank Moyles schrieb:

Use GoTo, If or Select Case. Functionally break is a GoTo. MfG, Alex In article <474d39be$0$13111$9b4e6***@newsspool2.arcor-online.net>,

Break of course exists in VB as "Exit For" or "Exit Do". Thanks for the correction. MfG, Alex On Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:49:51 +0100, Alexander Mueller

You can also prematurely end a function with the exit statement. PeterD schrieb:

"Exit For" .... -- Remove the ns_ from if replying by e-mail (but keep posts in the newsgroups if possible).

I can't seem to find an equivalent of the break statement - > specifically, to allow me to break out of a WHILE loop (without having to > resort to 'goto' etc) - whats the equivalent in VB? instead because it gives you Exit Do. The only time you need GoTo is if you need the equivalent of C's continue statement, because VB has no such thing, unfortunately.  |
