Is this language missing the functionality of a C/C++ 'continue' statement?
For example:
While NOT isEof()
If condition
' a C or C++ continue would work here
' but we are forced to use a GoTo
GoTo nxt
End If
... more statements here ...
nxt:
End While
You CAN rewrite the code to get rid of the GoTo by adding an 'else' to
the If, but code complexity increases as you're nesting more code in
conditionals.

Yes. We will get this with VB 2005. FINALLY!

Up to version 2003, yes. In 2005, we will have 'Continue' and 'Continue

Really? I hadn't noticed that. So if you're in a For...Next loop nested
inside a Do While loop you can use Continue Do to completely exit the For
and iterate the Do?
It appears so... which gives us the 'edge'

Having managed to completely avoid C and C++ (and C#) for nearly 11 years of
programming now.... can someone explain a bit more about the Continue
statement?? From this thread I just gathered it did the same as Exit
For??!!

Ever read Reaper Man? Fantastic story....
The Continue statement does not exit the for loop, it moves directly to the
next statement:
For I As Integer = 1 To 10
If I < 5 Then Continue For
MsgBox(I.ToString())
Next I
While the value of I is less than 5, the execution will jump to 'Next I'
bypassing all after it. When I is greater than or equal to 5, Continue For
will not be called, so execution will occurr as normal.
This also applies to a For Each statement:
For Each strString As String In SomeStringArray
If strString = "SomeValue" Then Continue For
MsgBox(strString)
Next

Hi Grim, have you ever used the Cobol Alter statement, for me it is
something like that.
I read that we can be glad to get that kind of behaviour back.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

My history.... (hold your breath....)
Commodore 64 Basic (can't even remember what it was called!!)
BBC Basic (again.. vague recollection...)
QBasic
AmigaBasic
BlitzBasic
Back to QBasic
VB6
VB.NET
I'm somehow managed to completely avoid C, C++ and C#, while learning god
knows how many ladder logic languages, Spanish and the Speak Of Woman.
Although still not fluent in that one.

lol. My history is very similar.
Only replace BlitzBasic with Assembly, ANSI C, then insert VB3, 4, and 5
(although not sure it officially made it out of Beta).
VIC 20 Basic
PET Basic / CPM
Commodore 64/128 Basic
QBasic
AmigaBasic
Assembly
ANSI C
Fortran
MDL (MicroStation Development Language "C" like)
VB3, VB4, VB5, VB6 (Although I think VB5 barely made it out of Beta)
MBE MicroStation Basic
VB.Net + C# only when VB won't do something I need.
Somehow I have managed to get by without ever having to learn C++, or Java.
