Examples

The following example code demonstrates use of a CodeGotoStatement and a CodeLabeledStatement to redirect program flow.

// Declares a type to contain the example code.
CodeTypeDeclaration^ type1 = gcnew CodeTypeDeclaration( "Type1" );

// Declares an entry point method.
CodeEntryPointMethod^ entry1 = gcnew CodeEntryPointMethod;
type1->Members->Add( entry1 );

// Adds a goto statement to continue program flow at the "JumpToLabel" label.
CodeGotoStatement^ goto1 = gcnew CodeGotoStatement( "JumpToLabel" );
entry1->Statements->Add( goto1 );

// Invokes Console.WriteLine to print "Test Output", which is skipped by the goto statement.
array<CodeExpression^>^temp = {gcnew CodePrimitiveExpression( "Test Output." )};
CodeMethodInvokeExpression^ method1 = gcnew CodeMethodInvokeExpression( gcnew CodeTypeReferenceExpression( "System.Console" ),"WriteLine",temp );
entry1->Statements->Add( method1 );

// Declares a label named "JumpToLabel" associated with a method to output a test string using Console.WriteLine.
array<CodeExpression^>^temp2 = {gcnew CodePrimitiveExpression( "Output from labeled statement." )};
CodeMethodInvokeExpression^ method2 = gcnew CodeMethodInvokeExpression( gcnew CodeTypeReferenceExpression( "System.Console" ),"WriteLine",temp2 );
CodeLabeledStatement^ label1 = gcnew CodeLabeledStatement( "JumpToLabel",gcnew CodeExpressionStatement( method2 ) );
entry1->Statements->Add( label1 );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
//    public class Type1 
//    {
//        
//        public static void Main() 
//        {
//            goto JumpToLabel;
//            System.Console.WriteLine("Test Output");
//            JumpToLabel:
//            System.Console.WriteLine("Output from labeled statement.");
//        }
//    }

// Declares a type to contain the example code.
CodeTypeDeclaration type1 = new CodeTypeDeclaration("Type1");
// Declares an entry point method.
CodeEntryPointMethod entry1 = new CodeEntryPointMethod();
type1.Members.Add( entry1 );
// Adds a goto statement to continue program flow at the "JumpToLabel" label.
CodeGotoStatement goto1 = new CodeGotoStatement("JumpToLabel");
entry1.Statements.Add( goto1 );
// Invokes Console.WriteLine to print "Test Output", which is skipped by the goto statement.
CodeMethodInvokeExpression method1 = 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.
CodeMethodInvokeExpression method2 = new CodeMethodInvokeExpression(
    new CodeTypeReferenceExpression("System.Console"), "WriteLine", new CodePrimitiveExpression("Output from labeled statement."));
CodeLabeledStatement label1 = new CodeLabeledStatement("JumpToLabel", new CodeExpressionStatement(method2) );
entry1.Statements.Add( label1 );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

//    public class Type1
//    {
//
//        public static void Main()
//        {
//            goto JumpToLabel;
//            System.Console.WriteLine("Test Output");
//            JumpToLabel:
//            System.Console.WriteLine("Output from labeled statement.");
//        }
//    }

Remarks

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.

Constructors

CodeGotoStatement()	Initializes a new instance of the CodeGotoStatement class.
CodeGotoStatement(String)	Initializes a new instance of the CodeGotoStatement class using the specified label name.

Properties

EndDirectives	Gets a CodeDirectiveCollection object that contains end directives. (Inherited from CodeStatement)
Label	Gets or sets the name of the label at which to continue program execution.
LinePragma	Gets or sets the line on which the code statement occurs. (Inherited from CodeStatement)
StartDirectives	Gets a CodeDirectiveCollection object that contains start directives. (Inherited from CodeStatement)
UserData	Gets the user-definable data for the current object. (Inherited from CodeObject)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
