+Summary: The after an exception the Err object doesn't set
+
+Description of Problem:
+When I catch an exception the Err object doesn't contain additional 
+exception information.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+ Try
+      Throw New Exception("Test exception")
+    Catch ex As Exception
+      Console.WriteLine(" Error=" & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description)
+    End Try
+ 
+
+Actual Results:
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not 
+set to an instance of an object
+in <0x00031> 
+Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.ExceptionUtils:getVBFromDotNet 
+(Int32 number)
+in <0x001b8> Microsoft.VisualBasic.ErrObject:MapExceptionToNumber 
+(System.Exception ex)
+in <0x00030> Microsoft.VisualBasic.ErrObject:get_Number ()
+in <0x00058> ProgressTestConsole.VBTest:Main ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Error=5 Test exception
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+
+Additional Information:
+I know that .NET has different the exception handling model than Visual 
+Basic and the proper way is to use thw Exception object instead the Err.
