I need some help coming up with a name for an open source project I'm working on. I'm looking for something easy to remember that will entice developers to try it out. The project is a collection of components and utility classes that provide an abstraction over the Lazarus and Delphi IDE's extension points. The main goal is to make writing IDE extensions at least as easy as writing an ordinary application: * Drag components onto a form or data module. * Set some properties and add some event handlers * Compile and install A secondary goal is to make it possible to write extensions that can be compiled and run in either IDE with minimal or no changes to the source. The project is still in the early development stages so I haven't made the source publicly available yet. I'd like to get the API stable before I release it. Anyway, I've come up with some of the more obvious choices for names: Cross-IDE Extension Framework IDE Extension Developer's Toolkit IDE Ex...

But, What about Embarcadero Delphi ? Originally shared by Microsoft Developer What was the very first programming language you learned? Let us know in the comments... Image source: http://spr.ly/6264dKAQ

I've written a little utility that takes an OSX crash report (*.crash) and a Delphi map file, and then gives you a Crash log with the Delphi function names. Set the map file in the Linker Options to detailed. The crash reports are written to ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. I've only tested it with a couple of crash reports so far, so there might be crash reports that cannot be read yet.

Ann: Introducing Nexus Quality Suite profiling tools It is with great pleasure that we introduce our first release of our new performance and quality assurance product: Nexus Quality Suite! In this first release, we introduce the LineTimer profiling tool. More modules and support for more compilers will be added as the product suite evolves. The LineTimer tool is an execution time profiler that lets you fine tune your application and even drill down to individual lines in your program. With the LineTimer you can see actual times spent on any (or all) lines of code in your project. Now you can pinpoint exactly which lines cost you the most execution time!  The LineTimer tool works with 32 bit windows executables that are created in Delphi versions from Delphi 5 and up, or BCB/C++Builder versions from BCB 5 and up. More info: http://www.nexusdb.com/support/index.php?q=qualitysuite Trial download: http://www.nexusdb.com/support/index.php?q=nqstrial The normal price will be AUD 450. For an...

So Delphi.Net is dead right? If so, why do we still have all the silly limitations introduced due to it? :(

Another quick FireDAC question :) Where can I find this TfrxFDComponents component they are talking about in the docwiki --> http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/Creating_Reports_with_FastReport_%28FireDAC%29 http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/Creating_Reports_with_FastReport_%28FireDAC%29

JCL and JVCL snapshot binary installer for XE5 is available on CodeCentral JCL: http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/29677 JVCL: http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/29678 http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/29677

Are table names in FireDAC case sensitive? I'm converting from AbsoluteDB to FireDAC and I get errors saying it cant find table "CaseSensitive" but "casesensitive" works.. When testing my query in ex. HeidiSQL it works with both "CaseSensitive" and "casesensitive". Is there an option to set so I don't have to go through tons of queries? :) Using XE5 Enterprise.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TIME_LOG_ENTRY_VIEW WHERE UNIQUE_ID = /something/ Result: 5 ;_;

That strange moment when you realize that a form and it's unit is functionally equivalent to WPF/CodeBehind.  Makes reading articles on MVVM a lot easier.

Fastreports Originally shared by Bill Meyer There were so few replies to my recent question on ReportBuilder that I am prompted to ask: What report tool are you using? And why?

I'm just going back to a REST app that I created pre XE5 Update 2 and unfortunately I'm getting errors with the SSLEAY32.DLL - The ordinal 2629 could not be located in the dynamic link library. Any ideas on the right size/date/version of the SSLEAY32.DLL that I should be using?

Bom dia galera..... seguinte estou com uma dúvidazinha que ta me matando talvez a galera do delphi Brasil possa me ajudar...  eu tenho um Memo1 na minha aplicação.... Minha dúvida é a seguinte...

Payment options for purchasing Delphi  add-on components/ library's etc.Internationally? I'm trying to purchase a Delphi add-on Software product in Singapore from my location in Canada. Options I've tried are; 1. PayPal: Vendor in this case won't accept it.  2. Western Union:  My bank won't allow me to do it online for International orders. 3. Bitcoin; Although I have no personal interest in it and don't fully understand how it works I checked into it  . The bitcoin service requires that you be verified and provided this info:  "Verification can currently take 10 business days on a case by case basis," It doesn't seem like a good way to market a product that should be a 1 click purchase and be able to download the product within a few  minutes to a few hours. Setting Prices(just a thought) ========================= It seems that if  the vendor sets the price below a bitcoin small purchase threshold, eg: (around $US 100)  bitcoin services that do sm...

This may be a question with a simple answer. I am using a VM with Win XP And DXE. I am trying to do the simple little DataSnap app, using the wizards to create the server and client apps. I create the server, build and run it, on port 211, the default. Then I use the client wizard, and when I get to Test Connection, it just hangs.  So is this something to do with the VM? Or some little feature of XE? New to DataSnap, so am fumbling in the dark

System.ByteStrings unit for XE5 Update 2 (Android version was broken after installing Update 2) http://andy.jgknet.de/blog/2013/12/system-bytestrings-support-for-xe5-update-2

If anyone here is very good with ReportBuilder, I have a question. I am trying to use the KeepTogether property in subreports to, well, keep a bunch of rows from being split at a page boundary. Think Order and details. With a note above the order header. But in this case the number of rows will be small, in all cases. The note can be suppressed by the user, so it will never appear, or can be enabled, and will appear only if not empty.  So what I want is note (if any) followed by order header row, followed by detail rows (not more than 6). And if it won't fit on the remainder of the page, then force a page break before that note. My numerous experiments have not yielded a solution, and I see an analogous problem in one of the demos which comes with ReportBuilder. Any suggestions?

After filtering for "Delphi Feature Request" I've seen the "I wish EMBT would use tag in ToolsAPI." request. Good that version control hasn't yet been invented. ;-)

I don't think that I want QC 121217 "Differently colored editor tabs for different file types" http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=121217
