label scope, goto statement question

[zildjohn01]

hi, i have come from vb6 and then to vb.net and then to C#.

i understand why you should not be able to jump into for loops and such with loop counters, but what about if {} statements? For example, the following code:

if(something1) {
    action1:
    // do stuff
} else if(something2) {
    action2:
    if(flag) goto action1;
    // do stuff ...
}

does not work. Is there some hack around this or what would break if the compliler allowed this to happen?

Many thanks in advance ,

John
