C# Unreachable code detected

Question

I\'m getting a \"Unreachable code detected\" message in Visual Studio at the point i++ in my code below. Can you spot what I\'ve done wrong?

try
{
    RegistryKe         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that this actually isn't a loop. You don't have any condition on the break so you could equivalently write something like

if(cmbPath.Items.Count > 0)
{
   OurKey.SetValue("paths" + 0, cmbPaths.Items[0]);
}

Alternatively you have to correct with something like

for (int i = 0; i < cmbPaths.Items.Count; i++) 
{
   OurKey.SetValue("paths" + i, cmbPaths.Items[i]);

   if(someConditionHolds)
      break;
}
