try

                if (drpchkPlant.Texts.SelectBoxCaption != "Select")

It depends where you want to jump to. If you want to jump out of ALL the foreach loops then you'll need to put the label where I suggested. If you want to jump out of the second and third foreach loops then put the label where you've just suggested. The next iteration of the first foreach loop will then take place.

Not applicable to put it in end first foreach :(

If you're using 'goto' to jump right out of a series of nested loops (one of the few occasions when its use is justified) then the best place to put the label is usually at the end of the outermost loop: try { if (true) { string[] plnt = ewn string[3]; foreach (var pn in plnt) { var pl = (from s in con.Plants where s.PlantLongName == pn.ToString() select new { s.PlantIdx s.PlantCD }).ToList(); if (pl.Count != 0) { string plntseries = pl[0].PlantCD; string[] so = drpchkSalesOffice.Texts.SelectBoxCaption.Split(''); foreach (var iso in so) { var sos = (from s in con.SalesOffices where s.SalesOfficeName == iso.ToString() && s.PlantPIdx == pl[0].PlantIdx select new { s.SalesOfficeIdx s.SalesOfficeCD }).ToList(); if (sos.Count != 0) { string soseries = sos[0].SalesOfficeCD; string[] sku = drpchkSKU.Texts.SelectBoxCaption.Split(''); foreach (var i in sku) { HtmlTableCell tmaincell2 = new HtmlTableCell(); var d = (from s in context.Dim_Product_Items where s.Item_Name == i.ToString() select new { s.Item_Code s.Item_Idx }).ToList(); if (d.Count != 0) { string series = d[0].Item_Code; TextBox txrowfour2 = (Tablet.FindControl(txrowfour2- + series + soseries + plntseries)) as TextBox; txrowfour2.Text = Request.Form.Get(txrowfour2.UniqueID); TextBox txrowfour3 = (Tablet.FindControl(txrowfour3- + series + soseries + plntseries)) as TextBox; txrowfour3.Text = Request.Form.Get(txrowfour3.UniqueID); TextBox txrowfour4 = (Tablet.FindControl(txrowfour4- + series + soseries + plntseries)) as TextBox; txrowfour4.Text = Request.Form.Get(txrowfour4.UniqueID); ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this GetType() MyScript_Copy Copy(' + cphID + _ + dynamicSKU.ID + '' + cphID + _ + txrowfour3.ID + '); true); goto StopLoop; } } // end third foreach } } // end second foreach } } // end first foreach StopLoop: } } catch (Exception ex) { Response.Write(ex); } finally { con.Dispose(); context.Dispose(); }

Hi you can also use break instead of this goto statement for example List l = new List (); l.Add(test); l.Add(Test1); l.Add(test2); l.Add(Test3); int i = 0; foreach(string s in l) { if(i==1) { break; } Console.Write(s); i = i + 1; } hope this will help you.
