BDS 2006 Revisited |
Thu, Aug 10 2006 12:59 PM | Permanent Link |
Sean McCall | Hi,
Finally made the switch to BDS 2006 after getting a new computer to install it on. This time it installed with no problems (4 times & no luck on my old computer). I turned off all the features everyone has mentioned cause problems in the editor and once I undocked the forms from the designer it was much more familiar to use. I think I am fine with the new tool palette in BDS 2006. I must say that I can't stand the online help since it seems to search way too many places when I just want stuff on Delphi and I can't find any simple tables of contents anywhere when I just want to look through the language reference or a component library help. Maybe I'm just missing something, but I would really like to have the old local help back. I also am curious what will happen when I take my computer on vacation to work & I have no internet access. On a very positive note I just stumbled across something that I'm pretty sure wasn't in D6 and may have been introduced in BDS 2006... advanced record structures that allow constructors and methods. What a great addition to the language! Anyway, finally a happy camper with D2006. Sean |

"Lance R." | Sean,
Since SP2 of BDS2006 and Hotfixes 5 and 6 (if I remember right), BDS2006 is pretty decent. As you said, you have to futz with certain things and disable Together, etc for performance. But you're right. BDS-2006 Online Help.... is Online !@#!@#!@#. (IMHO and many others).
