VB Forum / COM / November 2003

Dear all,

This is more like a theoretical or conceptual question:
which is better, using exception or return code for
a .NET component?

I had created a COM object (using VB6), which uses return
code (not generating error/exception) so it is more
compatible with other programming language.

Now we are migrating the COM object into .NET component
but wondering whether I should change my code to work
with exception instead? How popular is the use of
exception? Is it supported by all .NET-enabled
programming language?

Thanks,
Adi
