Thanks for your interest in RB for .NET.

Digital Metaphors is currently working on RB for .NET. The project is being
approached in phases. The first phase will have the ability to preview and
print reports in .NET, while relying on a COM layer to leverage the existing
report engine.

RB .NET <----> Page <--> COM/RB VCL Win32

Later phases will port additional subsystems to pure .NET.

The new development is being done in C# using VS, our intention is to
support VS and Delphi .NET environments.

Out of interest. do Digital Metaphors have any plans to support VCL.NET?

I guess it's probably too early to commit, but can you give a rough idea of
when RB.NET might be ready? We are planning the conversion of our product to
.NET (to start in about 6 months or so) and it relies heavily on RB for
reporting.

thanks

We arrived at our current approach only after working on VCL.NET for over 6
months.

A ReportBuilder for VCL.NET product has been shelved, just prior to
completion. There are no plans to release it unless the VCL.NET platform can
prove itself capable of building non-trivial applications. The performance
and stability of VCL.NET are severly lacking, in our opinion. Digital
Metaphors will not release a product that cannot perform up to our
expectations and the anticipated expectations of developers and end-users.
Thus far we have seen little demand for VCL.NET. We will continue to
evaluate VCL.NET going forward.
