CodeGotoStatement Class
Represents a goto statement.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
CodeGotoStatement can be used to represent a goto statement, which is used in some languages to redirect program flow to a specified label.
The Label property indicates the name of the label at which to continue program execution.
Note: |
|---|
Not all languages support goto statements. Call the Supports method with the GotoStatements flag to determine whether a code generator supports goto statements. |
The following example code demonstrates use of a CodeGotoStatement and a CodeLabeledStatement to redirect program flow.
' Declares a type to contain the example code. Dim type1 As New CodeTypeDeclaration("Type1") ' Declares an entry point method. Dim entry1 As New CodeEntryPointMethod() type1.Members.Add(entry1) ' Adds a goto statement to continue program flow at the "JumpToLabel" label. Dim goto1 As New CodeGotoStatement("JumpToLabel") entry1.Statements.Add(goto1) ' Invokes Console.WriteLine to print "Test Output", which is skipped by the goto statement. Dim method1 As New CodeMethodInvokeExpression(New CodeTypeReferenceExpression("System.Console"), "WriteLine", New CodePrimitiveExpression("Test Output.")) entry1.Statements.Add(method1) ' Declares a label named "JumpToLabel" associated with a method to output a test string using Console.WriteLine. Dim method2 As New CodeMethodInvokeExpression(New CodeTypeReferenceExpression("System.Console"), "WriteLine", New CodePrimitiveExpression("Output from labeled statement.")) Dim label1 As New CodeLabeledStatement("JumpToLabel", New CodeExpressionStatement(method2)) entry1.Statements.Add(label1) ' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code: ' Public Class Type1 ' ' Public Shared Sub Main() ' GoTo JumpToLabel ' System.Console.WriteLine("Test Output") ' JumpToLabel: ' System.Console.WriteLine("Output from labeled statement.") ' End Sub ' End Class
