==== Debugging ====

Visual Basic 6.0 has a very basic set of debugging tools like breakpoints and "Full Compile" testing which can point out errors with accuracy. When stopped at a breakpoint, the user may specify the next statement to be executed, and can even modify code, often not requiring a program restart. The On Error Goto statement provides very basic error handling which was depreciated in Visual Basic.Net. With the advent of Visual Basic.Net and later 2005 version, a much more robust and powerful debugging toolset was introduced. Visual BasicMicrosoft introduced better Exception Handling with .Net using Try Catch and Try Catch Finally blocks. Granular control over what type of exceptions where caught and how to handle the exceptions as well as the ability (but avoided) to throw an exception manually.
