Do you mean something like the <Ctrl><L>,
which is available for Debugging in VB-Classic?

No I mean when you get an error in .NET the err object
contains the stack trace.
Ok, nice to have - one point for .NET - but (in the
context of this discussion) - not a showstopper regarding
the functionality of a well written Classic-App.

So right out of the box you get functionality that you
have to pay money or spend time in VB6.
Read comments below.

And yes, in most cases an older App is based
on constructs (the selfwritten "framework" if you want),
that is not suitable (over time - when the App grows).
Then, if you get a chance to do a clean rewrite
of the App, you know better and don't make that
many "mistakes" - I think that is the effect Chris sees now,
but this is something you would see too, if you'd have used
VB-Classic for the rewrite - it is nothing related to the
"power of .NET".

Wrong, because because the more lines of codes it takes
to make a function work the more chances bugs will occur, ...
I thought, we discuss the issues of a grown VB-Classic project,
developed by experienced Classic-Developers over years.
In this context you already (should) have, what you typed
above: "tools you already spent money" and/or tools you
wrote yourself, to write less lines of code for the type of
application you are developing/maintaining.

It is the same old discussion about the "productivity-gains",
..NET has to offer - I think they are not as big, if you already
have "your additional tools at hand" in VB-Classic.

Think I will have to prove my claim with an appropriate (small)
Demo-App in the next months - then all the .NETers out
(t)here can try, to reach the same functionality with less
lines of code in .NET.
No offense, just wait until I come up with this.
