From Java to C#: A Developer's Guide

11.6. Flow control with the goto keyword

Yes, goto is still there in C#, although the makers of Java got rid of its functionality (still reserving the goto keyword) when they designed Java from C++. Nevertheless, do you realize that if you have been using labels in Java, and break-ing or continue-ing to such labels, you are actually performing a pseudo goto (without the goto keyword)?

There are three ways to use C#'s goto:
