The line numbering takes me way further back than VB.Net, all the way to Commodore 64 (and as you know, I'm in a nostalgic mood today :laugh:) :thumbsup:

Me, all the timeIn VB3 you could use optional line numbers. We had a doofus who would put them in as it 'helped with debugging'. We had him humanely destroyed.

You can still do that (use line numbers, that is) - I just checked in my VS 2015. Not only for VB, even for C#! :~ Tools / Options / Text Editor / Basic (or C#) - And there it is: The Line numbers checkbox :laugh:

Javascript! A perfectly dysfunctional language! ;P (and also a perfectly cromulent one! ;) )

You can still use line numbers in the latest version of VB.NET:
10: Dim i As Integer = 1
20: Console.WriteLine("Nope")
30: If i < 10 Then
40: i += 1
50: Goto 20
60: End If

Me, all the timeAh, yes... line numbering... and then you realize you need a chunk of code in the middle and no line numbers are left. That created a need for a program that could renumber your code. Fondly remembered...

Missing in Commodore BASIC and C-64 BASIC which was an even older version of Commodore BASIC. Commodore BASIC had decent garbage handling; C-64.. not so much.

VBA is the language of Office macros. It's like VB6-lite - all the horrible syntax and design decisions, with some extra restrictions on top. And VB.NET still supports both
On Error ...andGoto.

On Error... legacy. Just because it exists, doesn't mean you have to use it. You could use regex to traverse XML documents and yet, most people use XmlDocument and related classes Or you could use COBOL... goto exists in C# too and I'm sure there is some obscure reference or use for it in java too :) I know for sure it is used in various SQL variations in stored procedures X|
