Re: VisualBasic.Compatabilty . Goto

IIRC, VisualBasic.Compatabilty resides in its own dll, that is not part of
the standard framework (gets installed with VS). It is only designed for
upgrading, and not production.

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] VisualBasic.Compatabilty . Goto

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

  I present for you delectations tonight the one and only GOTO.

         try
                    {
                        int iCnt2 = 1;

                        Common cm = new Common();
                    tryagain:

                        try
                        {
                            oWait.WaitOne();
                            if (!FTPClients.AddFTPClient(ftp))
                            {
                                ScheduleStatus.AddEditSchedule(new
ScheduleInfo(_schedule.scheduleID, "Downloding Waiting " ,
DateTime.Now.ToString(), _schedule.providerName, _schedule.customerName,
_schedule.contractName, ""));
                                oWait.ReleaseMutex();
                                if (cm.WatchAgain(ref iCnt2))
                                {
                                    goto tryagain;

                                }
                            }

The above code is in a C# application that I'm auditing, one of the
developers at some stage has added a reference to VisualBasic.Compatabilty
so that they could use the goto statement, luckly this isn't in a production
environment yet.  Apart from being very very ugly and a huge kludge can
anyone give me some good reasons to remove the VisualBasic.Compatiblity
assembly and as a by product get them to refactor this code?

Thanks.

Dave.
