a=0
Do While a<5
response.write("Hello
")
a=a+1
Loop
%>
In this example "a<5" and the instructions defines a response text and an increment of the variable "a". In the example, a will be increased until it gets a value of 5. Then the loop will be abandon. one can use many statements within the loop.
Do Until....Loop
Example
<%
a=0
Do Until a=5
response.write("Hello<HR>")
a=a+1
Loop
%>
In this example "a=5", so a will increased until it is equal to 5 and then the loop will be abandon.
Select Case....End Select
