C# go to next item in list based on if statement in foreach

Question

I am using C#. I have a list of items. I loop through each item using a foreach. Inside my foreach I have a lot of if statements checking some stuff. If any of these if statements returns a false then I want it to skip that item and go to the next item in the list. All if statements that follow should be ignored. I tried using a break but a break exits the whole foreach statement.

This is what I currently have:

foreach (Item item in myItemsList) {    if (item.Name == string.Empty)    {       // Display error message and move to next item in list.  Skip/ignore all validation       // that follows beneath    }     if (item.Weight > 100)    {       // Display error message and move to next item in list.  Skip/ignore all validation       // that follows beneath    } } 

Thanks

Use continue; instead of break; to enter the next iteration of the loop without executing any more of the contained code.

foreach (Item item in myItemsList) {    if (item.Name == string.Empty)    {       // Display error message and move to next item in list.  Skip/ignore all validation       // that follows beneath       continue;    }     if (item.Weight > 100)    {       // Display error message and move to next item in list.  Skip/ignore all validation       // that follows beneath       continue;    } } 

Official docs are here, but they don't add very much color.

Try this:

foreach (Item item in myItemsList) {   if (SkipCondition) continue;   // More stuff here }
