My company is going to upgrade from 2000 to 2008.
Do I need to change all the @@error logic to Try...Catch logic
Thanks

No, you should still be able to use @@error, although Try...Catch is a pretty good structure. If it was me, I'd move my code over and take my time with changing to Try...Catch.

When you say "upgrade", I think "in place upgrade" and I wouldn't do it that way. I'd have both a 2k and 2k8 box running in parallel for a while until I fixed all the things that will (yep, I mean "will") break in the "upgrade".

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Lots.

Run the upgrade advisor. Fix everything it complains about.

Set up a test server running SQL 2008. Test your apps end to end on that. Fix all issues that you find.

Then consider upgrading the real database.
