This pretty much defines what I mean by "limited power" when I discuss Java and C# - I'm fairly surprised by this:

Unlike Java, C# contains the goto statement which can be used to jump directly from a point in the code to a label. Although much derided, gotos can be used in certain situations to reduce code duplication while enhancing readability. A secondary usage of the goto statement is the ability to mimic resumeable exceptions like those in Smalltalk, as long as the exception thrown does not cross method boundaries.

Back to the future, complete with goto statements. Amazing...
