For Each Loop Iteration Count

Question

Can we keep track of our iteration in our loop when we use a For Each? I like to use the For Each loops for looping through my objects but I cannot seem to find a way to keep an index of where I'm at in the loop. Unless of course I create my own ...

Answer 1

If you want to have an index, use a For-loop instead of a For each. That's why it exists.

For i As Int32 = 0 To objects.Count - 1
    Dim obj = objects(i)
Next

Of course nothing prevents you from creating your own counter:

Dim counter As Int32 = 0
For Each obj In objects
    counter += 1
Next

or you can use Linq:

Dim query = objects.Select(Function(obj, index) "Index is:" & index)
