Technical Questions

NATIVE DEVELOPMENT WITH DELPHI AND C++BUILDER QUESTIONS

Can I develop applications on one version of Windows and deploy to others?

Yes. You develop applications on the Windows OS that is most productive for you, so you can develop applications on your choice of operating systems (Windows 7, Windows Vista, XP, Server 2008 or Server 2003). Applications built with Delphi and C++Builder will run on all of those Windows versions plus Windows 2000.

Will applications built with Delphi and C++Builder 2010 run on older versions of Windows including Windows 2000, 95, 98 and Me?

Because of the use of Unicode as the default string type, Windows 98, 95, and ME will not run applications produced with Delphi and C++Builder 2010. These operating systems do not support Unicode strings, and Microsoft has dropped support for them. Applications built with Delphi 2010 and C++Builder 2010 will run on Windows 2000.

Will applications built with Delphi and C++Builder 2010 run on older versions of Windows including Windows 2000, 95, 98 and Me?

To install, you will need to have installed on your system:

  • The Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher
  • The Microsoft Visual J# 2.0 Redistributable Package
  • Windows Internet Explorer® 6.0 or higher
  • MSXML 6

The installer will install the prerequisite software if you don't already have it installed.

I'm wondering about moving my existing code to Unicode. What do I need to do?

Most existing code will work fine using the new default UnicodeString. Code that does byte level manipulation of string data, or that carries data in string variables probably needs to be examined and perhaps updated to account for the new character sizes inherent in Unicode string data. For more information, see the documentation and Embarcadero Developer Network for information about moving existing code to Unicode.

Do I have to register my copy of RAD Studio?

Yes. When you first run the product, a small application will open and ask you to register the product. Once that is done, and your product key is validated, then your product will be registered and installed.

Can I open my projects created with earlier versions of Delphi and C++Builder?

Yes, you should be able to do so, depending on the installed components required by your projects. Delphi and C++Builder 2010 use the MSBuild system for the build engine, and thus requires a new project file if you are upgrading from version 2007 or earlier. However, the IDE will seamlessly update your projects to the new format.

What if I need to deploy Blackfish SQL in situations beyond those allowed with the license included Blackfish SQL RAD Studio Edition license?

Additional Blackfish SQL deployment licenses are available separately for purchase. See the Embarcadero online shop site for your country or your favorite Embarcadero reseller partner for pricing.

What's different about Delphi versus competing products?

Delphi is the only RAD IDE for Windows XP, and Vista, 7 and Windows Server 2003 and 2008. Delphi not only runs on all these platforms, but also lets you develop for any of them plus Windows 2000. For example you could be running Windows 7 while developing an application for Windows 2000. This gives you the flexibility to run the OS the best suits your needs, while still developing for all the platforms.

Why do I need to install the Microsoft .NET runtimes and SDK with Delphi and C++Builder?

Some of the functionality of the IDE requires these software packages.

Will my users / customers need the .NET runtimes / SDK in order to run my apps built with Delphi and C++Builder?

No. Applications produced with Delphi and C++Builder 2010 do not require any .NET runtime support. The product produces pure native Windows applications.

What are the differences between the ER/Studio Developer Edition data modeling capabilities in RAD Studio Architect and the standard ER/Studio product?

The ER/Studio data modeling and visualization in RAD Studio Architect is a subset of the full ER/Studio. RAD Studio Architect doesn't include metadata import/export capabilities or access to ER/Studio team repository servers. It includes limited reporting functionality (HTML only). The ER/Studio functionality in RAD Studio Architect supports a specific set of databases in line with those supported by dbExpress, while the full ER/Studio products offer flexible configurations for those databases and more.

Can I install RAD Studio 2010 on a machine with previous versions of RAD Studio, Delphi or C++Builder on it?

Yes, RAD Studio coexists nicely with earlier versions of RAD Studio, C++Builder and Delphi.

Are there new COMPILERVERSION and RTLVERSION values defined for Delphi 2010?

Yes. For Delphi 2010, COMPILERVERSION is set to 21.0, and RTLVERSION is set to 21.0.

C++BUILDER QUESTIONS

Are there new COMPILERVERSION and RTLVERSION values defined for Delphi 2010?

TR1 is the first official ISO extension to the C++ Standard Library, including many components to enhance library use and development, including a reference counted smart pointer and function call wrapper for better resource management; tuple, array and hashing containers; regular expressions; random numbers; improved function binders to simplify calling library algorithms; and type traits.

More details may be found in the final public draft available on the ISO committee website at: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf

Are there new COMPILERVERSION and RTLVERSION values defined for Delphi 2010?

C++0x is the informal name for the next version of the C++ Standard. While the standard expected until late 2010 many features are now well defined. More details may be found on the ISO committee website.

A good place to start would be:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2705.html

What's different about C++Builder versus competing products?

C++Builder is the only true RAD C++ environment and framework designed for ultra-fast and highly-maintainable Windows GUI application development. No other C++ development environment offers a more comprehensive included visual component library for quickly building rich user interfaces, rich ecosystem of additional components and tools, and rapid development of database applications.

DELPHI PRISM QUESTIONS

Which version of the .NET Framework do I have to have installed to run Delphi Prism?

You must have the .NET Framework 3.5 or 4.0 installed to install and run Delphi Prism.

Do assemblies produced with Delphi Prism require a specific version of the .NET Framework?

No - Delphi Prism can be targeted to link against any version of the .NET Framework from version 1.1 to 4.0. The developer can choose which version to link against.

Do I have to buy Visual Studio 2008 from Microsoft in order to use Delphi Prism?

No. Delphi Prism contains a full copy of the Visual Studio Shell. If your machine doesn't have a copy of either the Shell or a Visual Studio Professional edition or above already installed, Delphi Prism will install the Visual Studio Shell for you before installing the Delphi Prism language plug-in and features.

What will happen if I install Delphi Prism and I already have a copy of Visual Studio 2008 installed on my computer?

If you already have a copy of Visual Studio Professional or higher installed, Delphi Prism will integrate directly into your existing install automatically.

Does Delphi Prism install into Visual Studio 2010?

As of the release date of RAD Studio 2010, the Delphi Prism portion of the product works with Visual Studio 2008, the currently shipping version of Visual Studio. Embarcadero is investing in future support for the final shipping version of Visual Studio 2010 when it becomes available. Note: Future Delphi Prism releases with new features are only available to RAD Studio customers with current Maintenance agreements so we strongly encourage users to purchase Support and Maintenance.

Why does the Delphi Prism IDE say "Microsoft Visual Studio"?

Delphi Prism runs inside the Visual Studio Shell. This is basically the Visual Studio IDE without any language plug-ins from Microsoft. Thus, you see the Microsoft branding. But rest assured that you can see Delphi Prism as soon as you select the File|New... menu.

Can I add C# or VB.NET functionality to Delphi Prism with the Visual Studio Express products from Microsoft?

No. Because of the way that the Microsoft Express products are installed, they will not integrate directly into installation of Visual Studio Shell. However, Delphi Prism and the Visual Studio Express products can reside on the same machine together and can be run side-by-side. However, if you have Delphi Prism installed, and then install Visual Studio 2008 Professional or above, you will get the Visual Studio 2008 functionality in the same IDE as Delphi Prism.

What platforms will my Delphi Prism applications run on?

Delphi Prism applications will run almost anywhere the Common Language Runtime (CLR) exists. Delphi Prism applications will take full advantage of the .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 Frameworks on Windows. Delphi Prism applications will also work on Mono for Linux. In addition, Delphi Prism applications will execute on Mono for the Mac.

Does Delphi Prism include support for VCL.NET?

No. Development for VCL.NET has been deprecated and will not be supported in Delphi Prism. Developers using VCL.NET can either use Delphi 2007 to continue those products or can migrate their VCL.NET applications to VCL for Win32.

Will my existing Delphi for Win32 code compile in Delphi Prism?

Probably not without some changes. While the languages used by Delphi and Delphi Prism are very similar, they are not entirely compatible. Each language has features and idioms designed specifically for the platforms that they are meant to run on. However, the languages are close enough that code written for one can usually be used on the other with minor changes.

Is there any way to make the Delphi Prism language more compatible with my Win32 Delphi code?

Yes - Delphi Prism includes a "compatibility" switch which enables certain language features that will be more familiar to Delphi for Win32 developers. This option can be set on a per-project basis as part of the project options tab.

Can I build applications for the Compact Framework using Delphi Prism?

Delphi Prism will compile against the CF assemblies. However, there is no design-time support as the Compact Framework designers are closely integrated with the C# and VB.NET personalities of Visual Studio and not available for use by other language plug-ins.

Who wrote the compiler used in Delphi Prism?

The Delphi Prism compiler was written by RemObjects. It is the same compiler that formed the basis of their Chrome and Oxygene products, which are now being superseded by Delphi Prism

What is the relationship between RemObjects and Embarcadero?

RemObjects Software and Embarcadero are close partners. Embarcadero licenses technology from RemObjects Software that is included in Delphi Prism. Both companies are committed to working together towards advancing the product as it continues to thrive and evolve.
