Bye Bye debugger

I don't know for you but I just discover that I use less and less the Debugging functions in VB.Net.

No I am not a genius, I still make mistakes, write syntax errors or mispell a property.

The fact is that I structure more and more my code, applying a lot of N-tier architecture in my projects.

So I can trace now easily the bug, and thankfully, mos of the time, it's just a syntax error.

I also reduce the time wasted I used to have with the simple thing of launching a debugging session, search for something wrong and stop, to restart again.
It's incredible how much time the debugger take to launch, looks some time more like a diesel than a formula one.
I have just some good hope on the new 'Edit and Run' features in .Net 2.0

I can achieve to forget about debugging by adding more granularity. Not that I am really an expert in OOP, I don't really do enough on this subject, but using some data helpers like the MS Data Aplication Block seem to be a very productive idea.

Sure, maybe because my projects are 90% databse related, and not about some complex and obscure mathematical abstraction :-)
