In C#, the GOTO statement is used to point control to the label for iteration without using the loop. First, you need to create a label by just specifying the colon (:) at the end of the label name and then mention its name with GOTO command. Below are the syntax and example.

Syntax

goto lable_name;

Example

using System;
namespace GoToExample
{
    class GoToExample
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int i = 0;
            label_repeat: // label
            Console.WriteLine("i: {0}", i);
            i++;
            if (i < 10)
                goto label_repeat;

            Console.ReadLine();
            return;
        }
    }
}

Output

i: 0
i: 1
i: 2
i: 3
i: 4
i: 5
i: 6
i: 7
i: 8
i: 9
