Does anyone know of the vb.net equivelent to the c# continue so I can exit the immediate iteration of a for loop and continue with the next one.
Exit For -
Dim j As Integer
-
For i As Integer = 1 To 4
-
If i = 3 Then Exit For
-
j = i
-
Next i
-
MsgBox(j) ' will give 2

Sorry Sammy, close but no cigar. Continue doesn't drop out of the loop, it skips to the next iteration.
In VB6, at least, I don't think there is an equivalent of continue. I seem to recall hearing recently about something in VB.Net which would do it, but don't remember what it was.
In VB6, I tend to use an inner loop to achieve the same end. For example... - For Index = 1 to 10
-
Do
-
If some condition Then
-
Exit Do ' Equivalent of applying Continue to the For loop.
-
End If
-
... other processing that you wanted to skip ...
-
-
Loop While False ' In other words, don't loop.
-
Next
It's a little ugly, but it works.

Yep, sorry, I didn't read past "exit" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...6t(VS.71).aspx says
"Visual Basic .NET does not support the Continue statement of previous versions of Visual Basic. However, you can achieve the same functionality by putting a statement label on the Loop statement and branching to it from the middle of the loop."
Too bad it's in C#! Makes for ghasty code. And Microsoft's solution of a statement label is just as bad. Just rewrite the loop and make it readable.

I partially agree. I love the ability to skip to the next iteration (it's available in the mainframe language that I use) and really miss it in VB. But MS's workaround sounds really ugly.
I'd like to know which "previous versions of VB" they're referring to, as VB6 certainly doesn't have a Continue statement.

Those were my thoughts exactly, because I'd tried in VBA and it didn't work there either.
Well, I think the basic problem here is that the question was asked in the pre-dot-net VB forum. Someone (such as myself) really should have directed the poster to the VB.Net forum for more up-to-date info.
Of course this may all be a little late, given this thread is about 6 years old.

What's the difference between "is not" and "!=" or they are the same thing?

May I ask the group this somewhat non-focused question....having now
seen "continue" used in some of the solutions I have worked on. ( Ex
7-4 solution by Tondo and Gimpel comes to mind)
Is there a good principle/s for the good usage of "continue"...or...do
any of the regular/irregular contributors have a "favorite" way in
which it is particularly useful. Thanks as usual.
