will certainly be more work.
developer tools that used to be Borland's now are part of CodeGear.
They didn't move just the products, though - they also sent along all
the experienced developers who created those products.

Note that Raize components are for the Win32 edition, not .NET.

I'm beginning to think that I have been living under a rock the last few
years. I have been developing with Delphi 5 Pro since its release and
have been very satisified with it. I am getting ready to upgrade to
Turbo Delphi 2006 Pro. What would be the best version to migrate to;
the .Net or Win32 version? I am leaning towards the .Net version.
What or who is CodeGear?
I used several 3rd party components with D5 like Raize and Woll2Woll.
Does anyone know if these products have versions that will work with the
Turbo Delphi versions?
Does anyone know if Open Source TurboPower components work with Turbo
Delphi?
I'd appreciate as much advice as possible in as I feel like I am lost in
all this.
Thanks in advance;
Jim Fitzgerald, EHSI
 

I'm pretty sure that Woll2Woll has a Delphi 2006 version.
You could find out for sure at

I'm pretty sure Raize has been updated for D2006. Check the archives
at the thirdpartytools.general newsgroup, or post there if necessary.

group. You get the source, so if you have the time and skill, you can
probably get things working yourself.

Delphi programmers haven't yet heard of CodeGear. Of course, all of us
"normal" guys visit the non-tech forum daily....

Hey Rick,

No, of course there would be some who did not know, but that would mean
that not only do they not frequent Borland forums, (a reasonable
assumption), but they also must not frequent other developer forums, as
the news spread about everywhere. Not to mention that they would have
to have skipped virtually all related trade journals where numerous
related articles were published both before and after. Oh, yeah, I
believe there was also an email from David I to the Delphi Developer
base after the split. IMHO, that constitutes a pretty "huge rock".

Hi David,
I didn't receive any email about the split, and I am a registered BDS2006 Pro
user.

reflection that would be uncharacteristic of this group.
;P
listen/read about what others might be doing.
I know plenty of developers who don't have ny real _interest_ in their
profession, they merely practice it to the best of their ability during
working hours and leave it behind when they leave the office each day.

One does not have to "hang out to get breaking news. RSS feeds usually
get me the highlights I want. I do come here a couple times per day
when taking a break, to unwind a bit, and have been doing that since
early Compuserve days.
