IF the exception handler is not successful in catching a exception, then an unhandled exception dialog box appers and the application exits without going to the exception handler. This is the case in VB as well

Well most of the debugging scenario is pretty same as in vb6, there also in case of error on one line the control moved to the Error handler (unless you had On Error Resume Next). &nbsp;One of the benefits that vb6 line by line debugging gave was that it allowed to modify the lines during debugging. For that you can use the immediate window.<br />

When stepping through my code in VB.NET 2003 line by line, if an error is encountered, execution jumps to the catch error handler. However, in Visual Basic 6, there was an option to rather stop at that line of code - even if you had an error handler it wouldn't jump to it. Is it possible to get VB.NET to behave this way aswell?

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
