RB for Delphi 8

rbuser

I learned that Borland will be releasing Delphi 8 for .NET.

Will there be an upgrade available for ReportBuilder after this release?

Thanks,
Clinton

Yes - there will be a ReportBuilder for D8 for .Net

The Digital Metaphors creative team is currently working on migrating
ReportBuilder to the Delphi 8 .Net VCL platform.

We will announce more details about updgrade pricing and a release date in
the future.

I doubt it. But perhaps it's best to wait for Borland to settle their SKU
first. Apparently it hasn't been fixed yet.

But maybe DM can clarify this for us.

Now is the time to make your voice heard on the Borland newsgroups about the
proposed Delphi 8 Professional feature matrix.

VCL .Net enables developers to easily migrate existing applications to .Net
and it provides a cross platform compatibility for supporting the native
Win32 and .Net platforms. Without VCL .Net, migrating existing applications
to Delphi .Net will require rewriting the applications.

We're approaching the move to the .Net platform incrementally. First goal is
to port ReportBuilder to VCL .Net.

Longer term, we will offer tools that are native FCL and can be used by
multiple .Net IDE's.

I have learned that VCL .Net will be included in all Delphi 8 Editions:
Professional, Enterprise, and Architect.

Hi,

http://www.borland.com/delphi_net/pdf/delphi_net8_techview.pdf

says something different. According to this document Basic
VCL-Components will not(!) be included with the professional edition.

Borland seems to give us a good opportunity to change to Visual
Studio. Would'nt be that much of work, if one has to rewrite his app
anyway... :-(

Kind regards,

Mark

The document is incorrect. I do not know why Borland has not corrected the
document.

This issue has been discussed on the Borland Delphi newsgroups. The VCL .Net
library will be included in the Delphi 8 for .Net Professional, Enterprise,
and Architect Editions.
