"Scott Martin" | Roy,
Just curious ... Can I ask why you are thinking about making the plunge? I myself have thought about it, but when I really think about it, all of my customers are still in the Win32 world and plan to be there for a while. Not sure if my upgrade would just give me the quick rush of something new, then back to the daily grind of creating what I now do in D7. Do you get any requests for .NET, or do you just want the latest and greatest! (I usually do Anyone else can chime in here as well Regards, Scott.

For one, the install has separate shortcuts for each flavor you select to install. i.e. BDS2006 Win32, ..Net, and C#, etc........ (I only have used the Win32 option so far.) The IDE is basicly the same as D2005, the component selection is a pain, I much rather have them back up on the toolbar and not take up all the space it does. Come to think of it, the object inspector is categorized, I am still getting used to that. Nothing is where it used to be. In the end, BDS2006 is worth the plunge from what I have seen. Moving from D7 (99% of my time) to 2006 is in my future. Craig Delphi Source Code for Accounting Systems www.ledgeraccounting.com |

Sean McCall | Roy,
Borland still hasn't solved the problem I am having (the case is open and the last response I got was well over a week ago).I'm hanging on to D6 at least until I hear back. I don't know what D7 looks like, but I know coming from D6 the IDE is a big change. I do my development in 640x480 to make sure my forms size correctly on any system and in D2006 the IDE is too crowded to view much code at that setting. I think I'll need to sort the screen sizing issues out and get a much bigger monitor before I make the switch. Of course, I just don't have a lot of time to do that right now. Anyway, others have said that after getting used to the new IDE they like D2006 and I think I'm just the lucky 1 in 1000 who has had install problems. Good luck, Sean Roy Lambert wrote: > Sean > > > How are you getting on with D2006 now? I'm thinking of taking the plunge and upgrading from D6 myself. > > Roy Lambert > |

"B Miller" | Roy,
I just converted an application on Monday that I had started on a couple weeks ago to D2006 from D7. It was fairly painless. The only component packages I have installed are DBISAM 4, Fast Reports 3, TMS Components, and a variety of DevExpress components including QG5, Scheduler, etc. I actually don't mind the tool palette as much as I thought I would. Likes: code completion is better, code can be collapsed in the editor. I haven't tried much else and I haven't had any problems either. Regards, Bill Miller |

At the convincing of a DBISAMer, I went for a 1600 by 1200 screen a year or so back. I wouldn't trade it in for anything as it gives you all that extra space. I just make sure the form width and height match my target size when I set them up in the IDE. Seems to work just fine. As a finally check, I always set the screen size to the lower resolution but usually find that there's no problems.

"Scott Martin" | Oh my ... I would go nuts if I coded in 640x480.
Are you able to type a complete classname on the same line? lol, j/k Perhaps when I am too old to find my reading glasses I have not purchased yet. Regards, Scott. >> I do my development in 640x480 to make sure my forms size |

Well, since I'm a hobbyist programmer I don't get requests for .NET (and if I did I'd probably ignore them). Its more that I'm now 3 generations behind so I'm beginning to feel a bit left out From the various posts I'm not sure if there's any reason to upgrade or not, looking at the feature list I'm not to sure what I'd get from it but its always nice to have new toys.

Any chance of you posting a couple of screenshots of the IDE since everyone seems to be saying its way different? Roy Lambert |

Thanks. Its interesting to say the least. It sort of make you wonder just how many developers they asked about what they'd like the IDE to look like. Its sufficiently different that it makes me wonder if I should bother ...... Roy Lambert |
