Ok, lots of questions and ignorance about .Net and delphi |

David | I use D5 Enterprise and D7 Pro. I have a TON of third party components.
There are a ton of quick programming contracts for .Net and I wouldn't mind grabbing some of those. I figure the easiest way to learn .net is by leveraging my knowledge of delphi. So here are my questions. BTW, some will sound really basic. I apologize for those. I just want to be really sure before I drop a significant chunk of change on D2007. 1) I can program in .net with D2007 right? 2) Will all of the third-party components that install in d2007 will work whether the language used is .net or oop? 3) Is D2007 the best option to learn .net? 4) Any decent books on .net with delphi? 5) Am I missing anything? Thanks for the help. |

Steve Forbes Team Elevate | Hi David,
> 1) I can program in .net with D2007 right? Only if you have the full BDS2007 rather than the cut-down Delphi 2007 > 2) Will all of the third-party components that install in d2007 will work > whether the language used is .net or oop? A qualified yes .. only if you use VCL.NET for your applications. You won't find this a very marketable experience though coz most .NET application use the WinForms environment > 3) Is D2007 the best option to learn .net? Not in my opinion, I started down the same track and abandoned Delphi for anything .NET (at the time BDS did not support .NET 2.0) .. I use Delphi for anything Win32 (where Delphi still rules the roost) but use MS VS2005 for all .NET programming. Incidentally, you can download totally free single purpose Express versions from MS .. then if you get serious you can purchase a Delphi -> VisualStudio cross grade, the full version supports all languages and flavours including ASP.NET > 4) Any decent books on .net with delphi? Have not purchased any, so cannot comment > 5) Am I missing anything? That's about it. .NET is a quite different environment and will require a learning curve. You can leverage on your Delphi skill by purchasing Chrome (from RemObject) allowing you to use the Chrome version of ObjectPascal in Visual Studio, however, this will not IMO be a good decision if you are looking at .NET contracts. Bite the bullet and get into C# for your .NET stuff. C# is an elegant language architected by Anders Heilberg (who was Delphi's chief architect) and is quite easy to learn. It has all the good points of several languages, and once you get used to the difference in syntax is quite Delphi-like.

Chris Holland SEC Solutions Ltd. Team Elevate | Hi David,
Also if you wish to program in .NET you will need the ODBC or ADO driver for DBISAM or ElevateDB. I second the suggestion for Visual Studio (and C#), it is an excellent enviroment for .NET, allowing easy development for WinForms, ASP.Net and mobile applications. Chris Holland |
