next / next x difference

14 Jan 2006 7:17 PM

new q.

I've tried testing this to see if there is any difference but couldn't find
any... is there any difference in doing a   For - Next loop with/without a
value after the 'Next' at the end?

e.g. -->
For x in 1 to 10
    'statements
Next

versus

For x in 1 to 10
    'statements
Next x

thx for any help.

Personally I prefer 'Next <variable name>' because it's more
self-documenting. However, unfortunately VS.NET 2003 doesn't automatically
rename the variable in the 'Next' line if the loop variable gets renamed,
which will reduce maintainability of the code.
