Is it possible to write an infinite for loop in VB.NET?
If so, what is the syntax?

For i as Integer = 0 To 1 Step 0
If that's not hacky enough, can also write:
For i As Integer = 0 To 2
i -= 1
Next
Do
Something
Loop
or
while (true)
end while
ok, proper For answer:
Dim InfiniteLoop as Boolean = true;
For i = 1 to 45687894
If i = 45687893 And InfiniteLoop = true Then i = 1
End For
Aside from all the many answers given to make a loop run forever, this may just be the first that actually uses the value of Positive Infinity to cap the loop. Just to be safe though, I included an extra option to exit after a given number of seconds so it can measure the speed of your loop.
Sub RunInfinateForLoop(maxSeconds As Integer)
' Attempts to run a For loop to infinity but also exits if maxSeconds seconds have elapsed.
Dim t As Date = Now
Dim exitTime As Date = t.AddSeconds(maxSeconds)
Dim dCounter As Double
Dim strMessage As String
For dCounter = 1 To Double.PositiveInfinity
If Now >= exitTime Then Exit For
Next
strMessage = "Loop ended after " & dCounter.ToString & " loops in " & maxSeconds & " seconds." & vbCrLf &
"Average speed is " & CStr(dCounter / maxSeconds) & " loops per second."
MsgBox(strMessage, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Infinity Timer")
End Sub
What I do is add a timer then I change the interval to 1 and then I make it enabled then If I want it to constantly check something through the loop I just double click the timer for the timer_tick event then I type what I want. I usually use this for updating the settings if I want it to save every thing.
