How to create an if statement which loops until the if statement is no longer satisfied

Question

In my Windows-Phone application I need to use a condition which needs to run for so long until it is no longer satisfied.

How can I create some form of logic-loop? I have tried using an if statement but that only goes round once.

I'm fairly new to c# and aren't sure of all of the different logic conditions.

Thanks for your help.

`if` is never used for loops, in C# and any other language that I'm aware of, not even in the Turing machine, it's just a wrong construct for the job. — user2485710, Aug 04 '13 at 17:00

You're looking for a while-loop:

while(condition)
{
    // do stuff
}

Or possibly a do-while-loop:

do
{
    // do stuff
} while (condition);

The difference here is that the while-loop always evaluates it's condition before the first iteration while the do-while-loop evaluates it after the first iteration.
