Skipping to the next loop

Unlike C++, VB does not provide is the option to go onto the next item in the loop. You can get around this by using a label and a Goto statement:

For intCount = 1 To 10 Step 1
    lngResult = Val(InputBox ("Enter a number"))
    If  > lngBig Then
        '// New number is bigger
        lngBig = lngResult
        '// go onto next loop
        GoTo NextLoop
    End If
    Msgbox "That number is less than " & lngBig
NextLoop:
Next intCount
