VB NET - How to move to next item a For Each Loop

Question

Is there a statment like Exit For  except instead of exiting the loop it just moves to the next item   For example   For Each I As Item In Items      If I   x Then            Move to next item     End If        Do something  Next   I know could simply add an Else to the If statement so it would read as follows   For Each I As Item In Items      If I   x Then            Move to next item     Else           Do something     End If  Next   Just wondering if there is a way to jump to the next item in the Items list  I m sure most will properly be asking why not just use the Else statement  but to me wrapping the  Do Something  code seems to be less readable  Especially when there is a lot more code

What about   If Not I   x Then      Do something    End If    Move to next item

I d use the Continue statement instead   For Each I As Item In Items      If I   x Then         Continue For     End If        Do something  Next   Note that this is slightly different to moving the iterator itself on - anything before the If will be executed again  Usually this is what you want  but if not you ll have to use GetEnumerator   and then MoveNext   Current explicitly rather than using a For Each loop

For Each I As Item In Items     If I   x Then Continue For        Do something Next

I want to be clear that the following code is not good practice  You can use GOTO Label   For Each I As Item In Items      If I   x Then         Move to next item         GOTO Label1     End If        Do something     Label1  Next

Only the  quot Continue For quot  is an acceptable standard  the rest leads to  quot spaghetti code quot    At least with  quot continue for quot  the programmer knows the code goes directly to the top of the loop  For purists though  something like this is best since it is pure  quot non-spaghetti quot  code  Dim bKeepGoing as Boolean  For Each I As Item In Items   bKeepGoing   True   If I   x Then     bKeepGoing   False   End If   if bKeepGoing then       Do something   endif Next  For ease of coding though   quot Continue For quot  is OK   Good idea to comment it though   Using  quot Continue For quot  For Each I As Item In Items   If I   x Then     Continue For    skip back directly to top of loop   End If     Do something Next

When I tried Continue For it Failed  I got a compiler error  While doing this  I discovered  Resume    For Each I As Item In Items      If I   x Then         Move to next item        Resume Next     End If       Do something  Next   Note  I am using VBA here
