The question arose because the webservice returns a datapacket defined as dataset. This is not compatible with Borland controls in the app. WIth some effort I managed to wrap the MS controls into VCL ones as these accept this packet as is.
However, the MS controls dont know about the VCL controls. For isntance the MS.Datagrid will not sit on a Vcl.TPanel. This basically forces me to use winforms.
