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!?! We're about to use a web service to download the currency conversion rates, instead of getting an email and inputting it manually everyday!
 
I don't 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... I'm 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 it's ease of use. Disconnected Data-Set's.... 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 wasn't 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 didn't want to go .NET, I'd change jobs... narrowminded suits with that kind of attitude is why Xerox didn't make a fortune off of the mouse.
