What the Analysts Say
Delphi developers should pay careful attention
to the delivery of Borlands new .NET IDE before
any transition to Visual Studio .NET it has the
potential to better meet the needs of developers
leveraging .NET in a multi-vendor, best-of-breed
environment.Mark Driver, Research Analyst,

Project Octane for Win32 and .NET

• Accelerate the Delphi Application Lifecycle for
  Win32 and .NET
• Address the needs of Delphi developers on Windows
  and those moving to .NET
• Increase productivity with Design Driven
  development
• Interoperability with Mixed environments

.NET Support

• Reuse Delphi language skills with the Microsoft
  .NET Framework
• DCCIL compiler is first class .NET citizen
  generating 100 .NET code
• Build new .NET applications using the Delphi
  language
• Migrate existing Delphi applications to .NET
• VCL.NET is 100 .NET compliant component library
  with a high degree of VCL compatibility
• Reuse existing code
• Single environment for Delphi and C development
• Octane IDE will interoperate with CBuilder IDE
  (or vice-versa)
• Enables Delphi developers to add C to their
  projects and skills

New Improved

• Unit Namespaces
• Qualified Identifiers
• Nested Types
• Custom Attributes
• Class (static) data
• Class properties
• Class static methods
• Records w/ Inheritance
• Records w/ methods
• Sealed classes
• Final methods

• Multicast Events
• Include/Exclude events
• Array prop overloads
• Boxing into objects

19
Unit Namespaces

• Access units with fully qualified idents
• Uses Borland.VCL.Forms
• Delphi unit defines its own namespace
• Dotted names in unit identifiers and file names
• Project namespace search path
• Search for unqualified unit names on namespace
  path
• Uses Forms
• In VCL project, Forms -gt Borland.VCL.Forms
• In CLX project, Forms-gt Borland.CLX.Forms
• Project default namespace

20
Project Namespaces

• Eliminate uses clause IFDEFs
• Project namespace search path
• Search for unqualified unit names on namespace
  path
• Uses Forms
• In VCL project, Forms -gt Borland.VCL.Forms
• In CLX project, Forms-gt Borland.CLX.Forms
• Project default namespace
• Unit MyControl
• VCL project compiles to Borland.VCL.MyControl.DCU
  
• CLX project compiles to Borland.CLX.MyControl.DCU

21
Using Attributes

• type FooAttribute(Hello, 23) TMyClass
  class SpecialDataAttribute Fdata
  Integer WebMethod, DebuggerStepThrough
  function SampleCount Byteend
