Benefits of .Net?

We all have modules to do email and registry access, but for new apps it really cuts down on code, and makes it all look a lot better.

What about the new project types? You can create Windows Services easily in VB.NET now. And web services!?! Were about to use a web service to download the currency conversion rates, instead of getting an email and inputting it manually everyday!
 
UI Regionalisation is better in .NET too - you set the property on your form and it goes off and makes the resource file for you.
 
I dont have page 2 of this post...dead link, so maybe this was already mentioned... you said ADO 2.X can do anything ADO.NET can do... I know people who would argue otherwise... Im not as experienced as them but back when I thought VB6 was awesome... before I came to the light of C#.NET, and had to use ADO 2.X looking at ADO.NET seemed basically the same... but now after working with ADO.NET several times I love its ease of use. Disconnected Data-Sets.... DataReaders... both great things that yes... with a good coder possible to do something similiar in ADO 2.X, but very sloppy in comparrision, and much more resource intensive mainly because ADO 2.X wasnt designed to do those things. Some of the more experienced at both may speak up to enlighten you more.... Personally if it were me, if the company I worked for didnt want to go .NET, Id change jobs... narrowminded suits with that kind of attitude is why Xerox didnt make a fortune off of the mouse.
