I'd like to do the following

For i = 1 to 10

..blah blah

        if  x = 5 then continue

..stuff junk

Next i

Unfortunately, Continue doesn't work.  Nor does break, abort, end, exit, stop
or any other keyword I've ever seen.  Please help me!  How do I do this?

i = 1

 Do While i < 10

...blah blah

if x = 5 then exit loop

i = i + 1

...stuff junk

 Loop

For i = 1 to 10
    ..blah blah
    If  x <> 5 Then
        ..stuff junk
    End If
Next i

OR Something like this:

For i = 1 To 10
    '..blah blah

    If x = 5 Then GoTo Continue

    '..stuff junk

Continue:
Next i

By the way there it should have been "Exit Do" and not "Exit Loop"

Exit For Example.....

    For nLoop = 1 to 10
        'do something
        If nSomething = nLoop Then Exit For
    Next
    'execution continues here when Loop ends or Exit For occurs

Exception with block If.End If example...

    For nLoop = 1 to 10
        'do something
        If nSomething = nLoop Then
           'do something else only if condition is met
        End If
    Next

Exception with GoTo to continue example....

    For nLoop = 1 to 10
Continue_nLoop:
        'do something
        if nSomething = nLoop Then GoTo Continue_nLoop
        'do a lot of complex stuff
    Next

Exception with call to another function example....

    For nLoop = 1 to 10
        'do something
        If nSomething = nLoop Then
           nSomething = ProcessFunction(nSomething, nLoop)
        End If
    Next

I think there have been some good ideas mentioned here, but the nearest
suggestion
to your example is:

For i = 1 to 10
...blah blah
        if  x = 5 then continueStep
...stuff junk
continueStep:
Next i

For i = 1 To 10
    '... blah blah
    If x <> 5 Then
        '... stuff junk
    End If
Next i

This will skip the "... stuff junk" bit if x = 5 (thus simulating C's
continue).

I haven't tried this, just a thought.

Given some of the incredibly esoteric functionality available in VB, I can't
imagine why Microsoft left out a staple of programming used in fortran '66.

What were they thinking in those design meeting?

Designer:  Hey, shouldn't we give people a way to increment and continue their
loops from any point within the loop?

Manager:  Naah, who'd ever want to do that?  Besides, it looks too close to
languages we're trying to eradicate with our marketing muscle!

Designer:  But....

Manager:  OK everybody, now let's go over supporting the Hijri Calendar.

        X = 4
        Y = 7
        Z = 10
        W = 1
        R = 4
        T = 3

For i = 1 to 10
        Do stuff....
        if X <> 4 then
                Do stuff, maybe to Y
                if Y <> 7 then
                        Do more stuff, maybe change Z
                        if Z <> 10 then
                                Do more stuff, maybe change W
                                if W <> 1 then
                                        More stuff
                                        if R <> 4 then
                                                More Stuff
                                                if T <> 3 then
                                                        More stuff***
                                                end if
                                        end if
                                end if
                        end if
                Maybe do some stuff to Y
                endif
        Maybe some more stuff to X
        endif    ' I wonder if I have enough endifs???
next i

Now that's the "proper syntax".  Wouldn't this be easier and more readable?

For i = 1 to 10
        Do stuff
        If X = 4 then
                Do some stuff to X
                Continue
        endif

        do stuff, maybe to Y

        if Y = 7 then
                Do some stuff to Y
                Continue
        endif

        Do stuff to Z
        if Z = 10 then Continue
        Do stuff to W
        if W = 1 then Continue
        More Stuff
        if R = 4 then Continue
        More Stuff
        if T = 3 then Continue
        More Stuff***
next i

This way you never get lost trying to match up if/endif plus you don't get
statements that wrap when you're indented 10 levels, such as where the
asterisks are above.
