Question

In the following C# code snippet
I have a ‘while‘ loop inside a ‘foreach‘ loop and I wish to jump to the next item in ‘foreach‘ when a certain condition occurs.

foreach (string objectName in this.ObjectNames) {     // Line to jump to when this.MoveToNextObject is true.     this.ExecuteSomeCode();     while (this.boolValue)     {         // 'continue' would jump to here.         this.ExecuteSomeMoreCode();         if (this.MoveToNextObject())         {             // What should go here to jump to next object.         }         this.ExecuteEvenMoreCode();         this.boolValue = this.ResumeWhileLoop();     }     this.ExecuteSomeOtherCode(); } 

‘continue‘ would jump to the beginning of the ‘while‘ loop not the ‘foreach‘ loop. Is there’s a keyword to use here, or should I just use goto which I don’t really like.

The following should do the trick

foreach (string objectName in this.ObjectNames) {     // Line to jump to when this.MoveToNextObject is true.     this.ExecuteSomeCode();     while (this.boolValue)     {         if (this.MoveToNextObject())         {             // What should go here to jump to next object.             break;         }     }     if (! this.boolValue) continue; // continue foreach      this.ExecuteSomeOtherCode(); }
