Net - Looping Statements


There may be a situation when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In
general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first,
followed by the second, and so on.

Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated
execution paths.

A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and
following is the general form of a loop statement in most of the programming languages −

VB.Net provides following types of loops to handle looping requirements. Click the following links
to check their details.

Loop Type Description


Do Loop It repeats the enclosed block of statements while a
Boolean condition is True or until the condition
becomes True. It could be terminated at any time
with the Exit Do statement.
For...Next It repeats a group of statements a specified
number of times and a loop index counts the
number of loop iterations as the loop executes.
For Each...Next It repeats a group of statements for each element
in a collection. This loop is used for accessing and
manipulating all elements in an array or a VB.Net
collection.
While... End While It executes a series of statements as long as a
given condition is True.
With... End With It is not exactly a looping construct. It executes a
series of statements that repeatedly refer to a
single object or structure.
Nested loops You can use one or more loops inside any another
While, For or Do loop.

Loop Control Statements


Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a
scope, all automatic objects that were created in that scope are destroyed.

VB.Net provides the following control statements. Click the following links to check their details.

Control Statement Description


Exit statement Terminates the loop or select case statement
and transfers execution to the statement
immediately following the loop or select case.
Continue statement Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body
and immediately retest its condition prior to
reiterating.
GoTo statement Transfers control to the labeled statement.
Though it is not advised to use GoTo statement in
your program.
