hi there,

Is that hard to write a DADE from scratch ?

regards,

No, it is simple. The plug-ins are almost identical to one another. You can
usually take an existing plug-in that is defined for a similar dataset
access component set and use it as a starting point for creating a new one.
Save it under a new name and modify all of the class names. Then modify it
to use your data access components. See the DADE thread of the Tech Tips
newsgroup for an overview of the architecture.

Thanks for your answer Nard,

I really dont see what can be the differences between a DADE for RB7.04
/ D6 and a DADE for RB7.04 / D7 ...

maybe you heard about some changes to apply to the DADE jumping from D6
to D7 ?

very best regards,

Etienne

The DADE plug-ins have changed from RB 6 to RB 7.

The DADE plug-in code is identical for RB 7 for D7 and RB 7 for D6.

so a DADE for RB 7.04 working under D6 should work under Delphi 7, no ?

Yes, the same source code should work. The source code and package needs to
compiled against the RB for D7 code base and your D7 data access components.
For D7 the RB package names are suffixed with 77 (RB 7 for D7). You data
access components will have different package names also. So the DADE
plug-in package for RB 7 for D7 will need to update the 'Requires' clause to
reference the appropriate RB and dataset packages.
