Subject: Re: Delphi 2009 and Strings
With all respect, but the code samples presented are really examples of
bad
coding. Personally I wouldn't expect this kind of code to survive such a
transition.
While again not my code and in 3rd party components, I think you will find
Simply do a search and replace to change all
occurrences of String type to AnsiString type. The compiler will
automatically convert AnsiString to UnicodeString when it is necessary.
This
will work although you will not
benefit from Unicode.
I realize I'm missing something obvious here, but why
Borland may have made a change that will cause us to leave Delphi. The
change in strings is creating a near epic conversion for us. We use a
lot
of third party controls and apparently it was pretty common to
interchange
AnsiString with String as well as use functions like StrPas.
Bad
