is there a equivalent of Java's labelled break in C# or a workaround

Question

I am converting some Java code to C# and have found a few labelled "break" statements (e.g.)

label1:     while (somethingA) {        ...         while (somethingB) {             if (condition) {                 break label1;             }         }      } 

Is there an equivalent in C# (current reading suggests not) and if not is there any conversion other than (say) having bool flags to indicate whether to break at each loop end (e.g.)

bool label1 = false; while (somethingA) {    ...     while (somethingB)     {         if (condition)         {             label1 = true;             break;         }     }     if (label1)     {         break;     } } // breaks to here 

I'd be interested as to why C# doesn't have this as it doesn't seem to be very evil.

You can just use goto to jump directly to a label.

while (somethingA) {     // ...     while (somethingB)     {         if (condition)         {             goto label1;         }     } } label1:    // ... 

In C-like languages, goto often ends up cleaner for breaking nested loops, as opposed to keeping track of boolean variables and repeatedly checking them at the end of each loop.
