[RESOLVED] using break statement in a while loop

[jreid101]

So basically I am using a background worker to do a bunch of stuff.

I have a method that says something along the lines of:

while (!_backgroundWorker.CancellationPending)
{
     // do a bunch of stuff here

     // end of doing a bunch of stuff
     break;
}

My question is this, is there a *BETTER* way to break from this statement when its done doing what it needs to do?

I was told break statements are usually not a good idea to use in while loops. Which kind of got under my skin because the person who told me is fresh from college and has 0 software development experience in a workforce. I can understand that when not using a background worker, you just set some condition to true or false at the end of the while statement which imo is close to the same thing as a break statement.

I don't really see any alternative when using the background worker however. If the background worker has not been cancelled, how else do you get out it?

Thanks,
Joel
