Hi all,
Does VS.net catches more run time errors than VS 6.0???

My aplication was written in VC++6.0 MFC which I am opening in VC.NET2003
and compiling it. It works fine when I run compile it in VS6.0 but when I
compile it in VS.net 2003 it crashes during run time (debug mode) in file
dbgrpt.c at this function:
#undef _CrtDbgBreak

_CRTIMP void _cdecl _CrtDbgBreak(
       void
       )
{
       DebugBreak();
}
which, I don't know what this is supposed to mean :-|

This seems totally unrelated to the place it crahes in when I step thru it:
Then, it crahes at the following place in the function
DegMinSec_To_DegDecimal (a function to return 12.33 for 12:20 for eg )
Can anyone point me to any error I might be making in the the calling
function? And also why this only happens in .NET????

Thanks a lot in advance
