Delphi 2009 - did you upgrade? |

UliBecker | Hi,
I am working with Delphi 2007 at the moment and would be interested in your experiences with Delphi 2009. Does an upgrade pay off except the ability to handle unicode data (I don't need this for my applications)? Thanks and regards Uli Becker |

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | Hi Uli,
I'll ride along with you on this... would like to know as well. In my case, I have D2006. I'm guessing that there may be lots of work converting existing apps... but perhaps not. Realistically D2006 works well for me but I'm interested in "future proofing"... basically keeping my applications in step with current computer environments.

Before you decide on an upgrade don't forget as well as upgrading Delphi you'll have to upgrade (probably) all your components or at the very least do some significant testing, and it includes homebrew as well. Some may not even be available in D2009 flavour. In my case that would be ElevateDB (I wouldn't port any DBISAM projects) WPTools (means an upgrade from V5 to V6) TMS Synapse HTMLViewer Addict FreeReport SMImport SMWord EXCMLParser HTMLParse ElasticForm HKStreams plus a load of homebrew stuff. I'm sort of lucky in that I reduced the number of addons when I switched from D6 to D2006 as my main platform. Roy Lambert |

Concerning DBISAM projects I still have to use my old Delphi5 since there is no compilation of DBISAM 3 for Delphi2007. That's kinda problem for me. Regards and Merry Christmas Uli |

In that case I'd be very tempted to upgrade from DBISAM 3 to either DBISAM 4 or ElevateDB before doing the move to D2009. Doing a total rewrite of my recruitment app I got part way through then decided to switch to the TMS controls, hadn't finished that when I added ElevateDB in. The learning curve was more like falling off a steep cliff, breaking several bones and trying to climb back up. Roy Lambert |

> In that case I'd be very tempted to upgrade from DBISAM 3 to either DBISAM 4 or ElevateDB before doing the move to D2009. I did move to ElevateDB and I am converting my applications to EDB step by step. Nevertheless there are some DBISAM3 apps that have to wait. So I am using Delphi5 for my DBISAM applications and Delphi2007 for the rest. But my question was if Delphi2009 has real benefits coming from Delphi2007. Regards Uli |
