Continue in nested while loops

Question

In this code sample, is there any way to continue on the outer loop from the catch block?

while
{
   // outer loop

   while
   {
       // inner loop
               


        

Answer 1

I think the best way to accomplish this would be to use the break statement. Break ends the current loop and continues execution from where it ends. In this case, it would end the inner loop and jump back into the outer while loop. This is what your code would look like:

while
{
   // outer loop

   while
   {
       // inner loop
       try
       {
           throw;
       }
       catch 
       {
           // break jumps to outer loop, ends inner loop immediately.
           break; //THIS IS THE BREAK
       }
   }
}

I believe that is what you were looking to be accomplished, correct? Thanks!
