You wont be able to install the components but you will be able to create them dynamically.

At least that is how I undertsand the information I have been able to read so far.

Just recieved an access violation and it shut down on run

A bit more info. AV in the IDE or where?

It's a console project. When run it'll just run until a certain point where it closes. Running the app in a console window i get the usual access violation message printed.
If i step through the program until the spot where it fails it'll give me a visual access violation and ask if i should break or continue. If i continue it'll terminate like before

ok so it's a run-time error then. I think this may be due to the fact that in BDS 2006 string dereferencing is handled differently. There is a vague belling ringing about reading something about this, but right now the bells are so faint I wouldn't even know where to point you to. If it comes to me I'll post something here.

it's not really a problem anymore as i've changed it to be a pbytearray instead

Well, I have tryed a little bit the turbo delphi .NET and it looks nice (except some crashing here and there :roll
As far I have understood, it is possible to make classic VCL apps and .NET apps (VCL Form Application Vs. Windows Form Application). The IDE can be set like the good old delphi with floating windows, so if someone is scared by the new interface, this can help

I'm a bit disappointed for the lack of the .NET Compact Framework, because I would loved to make some PDA apps

Not to jump on the DevCo's back or anything, but Lazarus can already do this. *Without* .NET, using the LCL instead. (FPC supports PowerPC, right?)

This is due for release as part of Highlander. If you look at the Borland roadmap for Delphi you'll see that CF support is due then.

Personally I think the Delphi and Delphi .NET suites should stay seperate. As they are in these Turbo versions.

I mean putting the two together is kind of like putting Micosoft Work and Excel in one program together. You get a mess. And thats sort of what happened with Delphi 2005.

(What is it with product versions made with the year of it's release ending with a '5' anyhow? :?)

If they continue this trend then perhaps we can hope to see a new Kylix (or finally rename the darn thing to 'Delphi for Linux') and posibly versions for the Mac.

The 2 could perfectly co-exist so long as the both of them conformed to a standard language outline. *ahem* ala Official Object Pascal standard.

(Like how I plugged that huh? )

What is wrong with putting delphi and delphi .net in one package, i for once would very much like a combo like that. Using .net for web development and win32 for (game) applications. PS it is quite possible to run .net applications on linux already with mono! As an test case i have an webservice running build with delphi .net on a linux server with mono!

Yes, but the lcl for eg. WinCE is still in alpha stage (even if I haven't tested it too).

I see. At this point I hope that this CF support will be available for turbo ides too
