cut-n-pasted from the help files...Looks like you would need to nest a for
loop in a while loop and would then be limited to exiting from only one
nesting.
Skipping from Within a Nested Loop. If you have Do, For, or While loops
nested one within another, you can skip immediately to the next iteration of
any level in the nesting. This is only true, however, when the loops are of
different types. If you have nested loops of the same type, for example
nested While loops, Continue While skips to the next iteration of the
innermost While loop.
To skip to the next iteration of a Do loop from within a nested For loop
1.. Write the nested loops in the normal way.
2.. Use Continue Do at any place that you want to terminate the current
iteration of the inner For loop and skip to the next iteration of the outer
Do loop.
Copy Code
Public Sub divideElements(ByRef matrix(,) As Double)
Dim i As Integer = -1
Do Until i matrix.GetUpperBound(0)
i += 1
For j As Integer = 0 To matrix.GetUpperBound(1)
If matrix(j, j) = 0 Then Continue Do
matrix(i, j) /= matrix(j, j)
Next j
Loop
End Sub

>I have several nested For loops, as follows:
For a As Integer = 0 To 255
For b As Integer = 0 To 255
For c As Integer = 0 To 255
If <Boolean ExpressionThen <My CodeElse Exit For
Next
If Not <Boolean ExpressionThen Exit For
Next
If Not <Boolean ExpressionThen Exit For
Next
As you can see, I need to test the condition in each For, which in my case
is probably more costly than necessary. If I could simply say exit all For
loops or exit 3 For loops or something, not only would it be less costly,
but simpler code. Is there any way to do this (or maybe a nice
workaround)?
Thanks.
