Upgrade error: 'Goto xxx' is is not valid because 'xxx' is inside a 'For' or '

[SandiegoSSD]

Hi guys,

i'm upgrading some big chunks of vb6 codes into .NET and I'm getting a few
errors like this one below:

Error 40 'GoTo xxx' is not valid because 'xxx' is inside a 'For' or 'For Each' statement that does not contain this statement.


Now, I know that it's bad practice to use Goto in the first place(spaghetti all over)..but I got the code as it is. i didn't write it. i just try to upgrade it and get it to work..

I think one solution to use a Sub/function to do this.?
Problem is there are some hundreds of lines of code under 'xxx' and I think there are many variables to take care of.
I'm just wondering, whether there's a way maybe by replacing 'For' loop with 'Do while ' that'll get rid of this error?? please let me know
Thanks.

Hard to say without seeing the related code. Show us what you are talking about then maybe we can help.

Note: Just paste the related section of code and use code tags around it to preserve formatting.

Well it tells you that the label xxx does not exist within the loop so put one in the loop - where? I don't have any idea without seeing your code problem. Jumping into the middle of a loop is not a good idea and I can't think of any reason why one would need to do so. Rewriting the loop would be the better way to go if you can't do without the loop
