I'd like to read from a file and if I fail, let the user retry or otherwise give up. So far the code looks like this:
Read_Again:
Try
my_stream.Read(buffer, 0, read_len)
Catch ex As System.IO.IOException
If MessageBox.Show("try again?") = DialogResult.Retry Then
GoTo Read_Again
Else
Application.Exit() 'just abort, doesn't matter
End If
End Try
I don't like the Goto, it's ugly. But I don't see how to make a loop that spans the try and catch.
Is there a better way to write this?
