Where Is IntelliSense For "goto" statements?

I don't use the: "goto" statement very often but I have started using it more frequently. Does anyone know why Visual Studio does not implement IntelliSense for goto statements? For example: // VS code editor does not show IntelliSense with //available "Label_" when entering this goto statement if (condition == true) goto Label_ExitCode; //... Label_ExitCode: //...

See above link. :) Seriously though see this.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

YES _ NOW PUT DOWN THAT GOTO IMMEDIATELY AND TAKE TWO STEPS BACK! I WILL FIRE ON YOU! :laugh:

I'll do a feasibily first, but I'll keep you in the loop on changes foreach sprint.

We probably need to switch things, at least I think that's the case.

I don't use goto statements to exit a loop. Why is Dave thumbing his nose about using "goto"? If you decompile the .Net Framework, their developers still use "goto" statements. By the way, my original question has yet to be answered.

It would be fun if we do drag this thing for a while.

In the event that we can't, we'd better delegate someone to release the thread.

a goto in some decompilation output does not prove there was a goto in the original source; it could be the decompiler did not recognize the original (looping) construct. In the end, every construct that changes the program flow is bound to get translated in an elementary jump/goto/branch/call/return instruction. :)

We could always repeat until the next topic comes up.

C# Have you noticed that no one has even remotely answered the original question?

Good for the goose, good for the gander. There are instances where nothing else works, but they tend to be when you are implementing threads (not using them, implementing them). And when you are using VB. Wait, you are a VB programmer, why do you want to get rid of the only errorarrow in your quiver? Damn, that was a good line. :sigh: Except I wrote it after I read Dave Kreskowiak's signature, not yours, so it doesn't apply here. Well, I hope someone else can re-use it later. :)

Probably so newbies will not use it until they get to the point of understanding it's consequences. I took the lemonade in the 90s that discredited that particular set of structures and have not used a goto in more that 12 years. I do not regret the decision!
