Indicates the end of a statement block associated with a matching For statement.

When Next is used on its own without an identifier_list, it closes the most recent For statement block.

identifier_list is optional and may be one or more variable names separated by commas. This form of the Next statement is retained for compatibility with QB. identifier_list, if given, must match the identifiers used in the associated For statements in reverse order, from inner to outer.

Example

For i As Integer = 1 To 10     For j As Integer = 1 To 2         ' ...     Next Next

For i As Integer = 1 To 10     For j As Integer = 1 To 2         ' ...     Next j Next i

For i As Integer = 1 To 10 For j As Integer = 1 To 2     ' ... Next j,i
