Just what does Delphi support as to .Net compact Framework? Does Delphi have
a screen designer for the Compact Famework?

Hello,
BDS2006 can be used to create CF 1.0 applications together with JEDs CF
Builder IDE plugin. This combination can use the normal WinForms
designer (no longer in RAD Studio 2007) and strip out the methods CF
doesn't know for GUI operations.
The thing missing most is a de{*word*81}.

believe it when i see it' on this... it was originally once upon a time
supposed to be in D2005... a 'preview' compiler eventually came along but
it lacked a designer and wasnt ready for prime time. D2006 supports it
'kinda'... you develop with the Winforms designer then use a free app to
strip out all the things not supported in CF... then you compile it against
the CF assemblies.
Of course Winforms was removed from D2007... so thats no longer an option.
So right now, id say you really cant develop CF apps with delphi... Their
mis-steps in supporting this have caused alot of bad {*word*76} with my
company... they still use Delphi 7 and after buying D2005 to sit on the shelf they
told me the next dev tool purchase will be a move to a tool that supports CF
and Win32 development. Which means microsoft... something I dread, but so
is life.
In codegears defense... from what i understand M$ continues to embed the CF
designer in Visual Studio which pretty much means anyone wanting to have a
designer for CF needs write their own... and borland/codegear wont do that.

consideration. If the VCL.net designer is flexible enough it should
rather be a configuration than a programming issue to get such a beast.
