foreach (var name in parent.names)
{
if name.lastname == null)
{
Violated = true;
this.message = "lastname reqd";
}
if (!Violated)
{
Violated = !(name.firstname == null) ? false : true;
if (ruleViolated)
this.message = "firstname reqd";
}
}
Whenever violated is true, I want to get out of the foreach loop immediately. How do I do it?

Use break.
Unrelated to your question, I see in your code the line:
Violated = !(name.firstname == null) ? false : true;
In this line, you take a boolean value (name.firstname == null). Then, you apply the ! operator to it. Then, if the value is true, you set Violated to false; otherwise to true. So basically, Violated is set to the same value as the original expression (name.firstname == null). Why not use that, as in:
Violated = (name.firstname == null);
Just use the statement:
break;
Use the break keyword.
Look at this code, it can help you to get out of the loop fast!
foreach (var name in parent.names)
{
if (name.lastname == null)
{
Violated = true;
this.message = "lastname reqd";
break;
}
else if (name.firstname == null)
{
Violated = true;
this.message = "firstname reqd";
break;
}
}
During testing I found that foreach loop after break go to the loop beging and not out of the loop. So I changed foreach into for and break in this case work correctly- after break program flow goes out of the loop.
