• Control Statements are used to control the flow of program's


execution. Visual Basic supports control structures such as if... Then,
if...Then ...Else, Select...Case, and Loop structures such as Do
While...Loop, While...Wend, For...Next etc method.

If...Then selection structure


The If...Then selection structure performs an indicated action only
when the condition is True; otherwise the action is skipped.

Syntax of the If...Then selection

If <condition> Then
statement
End If

e.g.: If average>75 Then


txtGrade.Text = "A"
End If

If...Then...Else selection structure

The If...Then...Else selection structure allows the


programmer to specify that a different action is to be
performed when the condition is True than when the
condition is False.

Syntax of the If...Then...Else selection


•
If <condition > Then
statements
Else
statements
End If

e.g.: If average>50 Then


txtGrade.Text = "Pass"
Else
txtGrade.Text = "Fail"
End If

Nested If...Then...Else selection structure

Nested If...Then...Else selection structures test for multiple cases by


placing If...Then...Else selection structures
inside If...Then...Else structures.

Syntax of the Nested If...Then...Else selection


structure
You can use Nested If either of the methods as shown below

• Method 1

If < condition 1 > Then


statements
ElseIf < condition 2 > Then
statements
ElseIf < condition 3 > Then
statements
Else
Statements
End If

Else
If < condition 2 > Then
statements

If < condition 3 > Then
statements
Else
Statements
End If
End If
End If

Select...Case selection structure

Select...Case structure is an alternative to If...Then...ElseIf for selectively executing a


single block of statements from among multiple block of statements. Select...case is
more convenient to use than the If...Else...End If. The following program block
illustrate the working of Select...Case.
