8. Chapter 6 - VB 2005 by Schneider8 For and Next Pairs For and Next statements must be paired. If one is missing, the automatic syntax checker will complain with a wavy underline and a message such as A For must be paired with a Next.

9. Chapter 6 - VB 2005 by Schneider9 Start, Stop, and Step values Consider a loop beginning with For i As Integer = m To n Step s. The loop will be executed exactly once if m equals n no matter what value s has. The loop will not be executed at all if m is greater than n and s is positive, or if m is less than n and s is negative.
