GOTO will never die

• Actually, C# also has it :-s
  

• Do I have one hell of a surprise for you!
  
  Have you ever tried using goto in C#?
  
  Try it!
  
  I wish people will stop this sh!t of which language is the best, I'm a C# guy myself, personal preference, but I give training classes in VB.NET and have found that if you have a VB background you tend to get into .NET faster with VB.NET as you understand the basic syntax already. And for office development VB.NET is just better! period, because it allows optional parameters and the code looks a bit cleaner.
  
  At the end of the day you need to use what suits the situation. Remember in .NET the ultimate language is MSIL and not VB or C# or J# etc... So in 99% of the situations the code from any .NET language executes exactly the same.
  

• i got the following sample by email
  
  private void AddNewColoumn(){
  
  int iColCount = this._mytable.NewSchemaTable.Rows.Count + 1;
  
  coltest:
  
  string strcolname = "New_Column_" + iColCount.ToString();
  
  DataColumn dc = new DataColumn(strcolname);
  
  try{
  
  this._mytable.Columns.Add(dc);
  
  this._tableDefChanged = true;
  
  }
  
  catch{
  
  iColCount++;
  
  goto coltest;
  
  }
  
  
  
  
  
  //Fill the DBDataType HT
  
  if( this._mytable.DbDataType == null ){
  
  this._mytable.DbDataType = new Hashtable();
  
  }
  
  this._mytable.DbDataType.Add(strcolname, "char");
  
  DataRow dr = this._mytable.NewSchemaTable.NewRow();
  
  dr["ColumnName"] = strcolname;
  
  dr["DataType"] = "char";
  
  dr["ColumnSize"]= 10;
  
  dr["AllowDBNull"] = true;
  
  if ( this._newtable ){
  
  dr["Identity"] = false;
  
  dr["IdentitySeed"] = 0;
  
  dr["IdentityIncrement"] = 1;
  
  }
  
  this._mytable.NewSchemaTable.Rows.Add(dr);
  
  this.FillTableListView();
  
  //this._hasChanges = true;
  
  }
