force next iteration in for...next

Is there any way in VB to force the next iteration in a For ... next loop
other than
using a GoTo?

I notice that in C++ you can use 'continue' and in other languages there are
syntax for this. Am I missing something?

For an example, if a = false I don't want the if b = true to execute.

for i = 1 to 10

    if a = true
        do stuff
    else
        'go to next iteration
    end if

    if b = true
        do some more stuff
    end if
next i

TIA,
Marc Miller

In VB.NET 2002/2003 you may want to use 'GoTo' together with a named label.
In VB.NET you can simply use 'Continue' or 'Continue For', depending on the
situation.

VB 2005 introduced the Continue statement in VB. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/801hyx6f.aspx.
