Call Method Multuple Times

He could also use the reverse-singleton pattern?

Int control= count;
Whiskey:
if (control== 0)
goto Foxtrot;
else
goto Tango;

Tango:
MyMethodCall();
control--;
goto Whiskey;

FoxTrot:

//do something else

Edit: Improved code.

I see everyone's using goto after yesterday's discussion! :laugh:

int control = 5;
while (control > 0)
{
MyMethodCall();
control--;
}
//do something else

:omg: That is such a bad use of goto... :wtf:

for (int i=0; i<6; i++)
MyMethodCall();

Let's hope count is positive now. :)

Hi, labels too deserve meaningful names, they add to the readability of the source code; so I would suggest:

uint control= count;
WhileThereMayBeMore:
if (control== 0)
goto FinallyWhenDone;
else
goto ThisIsWhereWeCallTheMethod;

ThisIsWhereWeCallTheMethod:
MyMethodCall();
control--;
goto WhileThereMayBeMore;

FinallyWhenDone:

//do something else

BTW: why is it all examples seem to use PascalCase labels, they are local after all? (e.g. read MSDN on the goto keyword) :)

My labels do have meaningful names when looked at collectively. Perhaps I was too subtle. :doh:

Sure they do, however you could combine individual and collective meaning, yielding the best of both worlds. :)

Hmm, I'm sure you could fit some XML in there, keep the counter in a database table, or even create a custom CountNotYetAchieved Exception class. I'd even settle for a string counter and Int32.Parse it on each iteration. Come on guys, integer counters are soooo yesterday! Here's my real version:

while(count-- > 0) MyMethod();

One other thing is the else technically is unnecessary in the Whiskey label... Last, you could spice it up with if(!(control != 0)), that would make it really nice!
