I just moved over to the Visual Basic team here at work.

What is the equivalent keyword to break in Visual Basic, that is, to exit a loop early but not the method?

In both Visual Basic 6.0 and VB.NET you would use:

  • Exit For to break from For loop
  • Wend to break from While loop
  • Exit Do to break from Do loop

depending on the loop type. See Exit Statements for more details.
