Continue Statement

Continue Statement

---

Syntax

     Continue { Do | For | While } 

Description

New in 2005. The Continue statement immediately jumps to the next iteration of a Do...Loop, For...Next, For Each...Next, or While...End While loop construct. The second keyword of the Continue statement matches the first word of the loop construct.

Usage at a Glance

• If you have nested loops of the same type, the Continue statement goes to the next iteration of the innermost loop (of the same type).

• Continue Do is used for Do...Loop statements; Continue For is used for For...Next and For Each...Next statements; Continue While is used for While...End While statements.

• Using the Continue statement may cause a loop to exit if the next iteration would normally have caused an exit of the loop.

Version Differences

The Continue statement is new with Visual Basic 2005.
