Thnks Richard There appears to be a bug in the selector (http://license-admin.codegear.com/srs6/selection.do?promoId=7) Based on price, Delphi Prism Ent should entitle you to select Delphi XE Ent workstation upgrade - rather than just Delphi XE Pro ? See you tomorrow anyway. D On

[DUG] Code coverage - finding stale code

2010-10-20 Thread Nick Fauchelle
With Delphi XE has anyone seen a tool/something built-in which can display some form of code coverage. We are currently building a new version of our software and while it's not a complete re-write there is going to be some redundant code. Anyone know or seen of anything for XE? Thanks Nick

[DUG] Delphi Specials

2010-10-20 Thread Marshland Engineering
I keep seeing all these specials, but for the 2-3 programs I write a year, Delphi 4 does the trick. It looks like Embarcadero keeps itself going with existing customers (which over time will diminish) with upgrades. Now if I was starting out from fresh, would I spend $3499 when there is a

Well thats nuts. As a user of both Delphi 5 and D2007, you would have to be nuts to want to work in D5 if you spend any time programming. It works, and quite well, but D2007 and later are so much nicer, and faster to do stuff.If you value your time and are programming for anything

[DUG] Finding system settings

Aw nuts you are just being a stirrer. I actually use D5 and D2007 both a lot for work. So thats my experience – I greatly prefer D2007. For me a pro upgrade is $600-700 so thats also true. The point about Windows updates are: MS updates Windows still (mind you only XP SP3 onwards now) not
