C# Error CS1632 – Control cannot leave the body of an anonymous method or lambda expression

C# Error

CS1632 – Control cannot leave the body of an anonymous method or lambda expression

Reason for the Error & Solution

Control cannot leave the body of an anonymous method or lambda expression

This error occurs if a jump statement (break, goto, continue, etc.) attempts to move control out of an anonymous method block. An anonymous method block is a function body and can only be exited by a return statement or by reaching the end of the block.

The following sample generates CS1632:

// CS1632.cs  
// compile with: /target:library  
delegate void MyDelegate();  
class MyClass  
{  
   public void Test()  
   {
      for (int i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++)  
      {  
         MyDelegate d = delegate {  
            break;   // CS1632  
          };
      }  
   }  
}
