Aside the relationship between Delphi and .NET resource protection 
structures (thing which was discussed already), there is another thing 
which wasn't touched: code readability, code quality.


Mind you, can be many nested 'try' blocks and sometimes you must be 
careful what is handled/protected where.


Also, by using 'using' your intent is more clearer (to use locally a 
(usually) short-lived with auto-managed lifetime object) whereas 'try' 
has a much more general meaning.
