You had BASIC? In my day all we had was FORTRAN! And by God those tubes back then, with the internets we used to send to each other. . . kids today have no idea.[/TEDSTEVENS]Originally posted by SlowwHand

Meh, no good BASIC programmer used GOTO

Can you explain to me how you would do exception handling without GOTO in BASIC?Originally posted by snoopy369

GOTO is widely hated in general because it leads to spaghetti code, but in BASIC/VB GOTOs serve a slightly different purpose."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

When I used to write stuff in Turbo Basic back in the 80's some errors would have to be handled with GOTOs, but wherever possible I would end up jumping through hoops to send error codes back up through about seven subroutines - all for the sake of structured principles.
Anyway, this is not the point. WRT the OP I think there are worse ordeals than clicking on a link. I even made a special point of posting a thread with just a link to a good vid that is well worth the physical wear-and-tear of clicking on the link.
Fair play to Asher for embedding it for us, though.

In VB.NET, try/catch. I don't know VB(not .net).Originally posted by Asher

VB.NET is a very very different beast than other VB.Originally posted by snoopy369

"Exceptions" in VB6 amount to "On Error GOTO Label"."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
