you cant do that without a goto, is goto even supported anymore in .net?? If it is its for backwards compatibility (very backwards). even if it was, it would be HIGHLY HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED to use it... that being said, what is the next elseif anyway? if it is just some cleanup code or something like that, put it in its own subroutine, so you can call it from wherever you need to call it from and you wont have nasty spaghetti code.
