I would like to use step in my code like so
[code]            For Each att As objValue In SearchSet Step 2

            Next
[/code]
but vs2k8 only seems to want to let me do
[code]
            For Each att As objValue In SearchSet
            Next
[/code]
Is what I want to not possible without possibly doing?
[code]
            For Counter as Integer = lbound(searchset) to ubound(searchset) step 2
            Next
[/code]

Thanks in advance

You can't do this with a For Each loop; For Each is an implicit call to IEnumerable.MoveNext(). 

What you could do is save state:
[code]
Dim n As Integer = 0
For Each att As objValue In SearchSet
    n = n + 1
    If n Mod 2 = 0 Then
        Continue
    End If
    ' Other logic
Next
[/code]

Not terribly good-looking or straightforward, but it could work.

alrighty, will look into that one. and your right its ugly lol.
