Hi there,
Which Class Library should i choose ? VCL.Net from Borland of FCL from
Microsoft in Delphi 8?
Will Borland keep on upgrading their VCL.Net if Microsoft come out new FCL
? Or, VCL.Net just provide a temporary solution for Delphi user to enter the
world of .Net ?
regards,
Ang Lik Huar
 

You will get smaller exes with FCL

Thanks Tony,
But smaller exe is not important. The most important thing is the future
of VCL.Net !

start fresh and clean with a standard .Net solution.
There's plenty of WinForms controls out there and there will be even more in
the future and your "business" code should work regardless of VCL or FCL
(after all it is Delphi code). What we know today is that WinForms will be
part of the next generation Windows and are being worked on and tested on
Mono as well. Add the terabyte or more <G>of documentation and examples out
there. I don't think there's a clear message about the "future" of VCL: we
know it probabily a good mechanism to port TDBGrids and TButtons but we
don't yet know much what 3rd parties will do nor if Borland is planning to
market it as an alternative path to UI development or just as a migration
thing. Given the uncertainty, I would go the standard route (which, BTW, should
also be the reason to move to .Net. If you want to use VCL, why don't you
just stay Windows 32??).

The .NET Framework classes are better for EXE file size, but VCL.NET is
better if you're coming from Delphi/Win32 and migrating existing apps to
.NET. You pays your money and you takes your choice....

VCL.NET, so I can not imagine it is meant as a temporary solution.
So if you ask me, I think the VCL still has a future.

Hi,
Delphi .Net for yourself ?

Hi there,
I'm testing and evaluate the Delphi.Net.
I think the main disadvantage is that if i wan to develop ASP.Net, i can't
use the VCL.Net library, so , i need to learn the FCL. If i need to learn
the FCL, then why i need to choose Delphi instead of MS C# ?

We all thought that future of Kylix/CLX is pretty good also when it start to
