David Clegg on Delphi 2007 and Compact Framework

David Clegg has written a very nice article on building Compact Framework applications with RAD Studio 2007.

David Clegg has written a very nice article on building Compact Framework applications with RAD Studio 2007. You can find it at http://dn.codegear.com/article/37915. If you are interested in the topic (like I am), it is a very nice read. Hope to have time to try this out soon...

David Clegg on Delphi 2007 and Compact Framework  

I'm still using turbo D2005 for CF develpment and 
was looking forward to find a solution to move to 
CF.Net 2.0. So this is good news. CF is for me the 
only reason for ET/CG to maintain .NET support in 
future versions of Delphi because there's no 
alternative on the Delphi side to develop 
applications for the Windows Mobile platform. Also 
imo there's no need for VCL.NET.

We are using Delphi 2006 for .NET to develop Mobile
Apps. Since CF 1.0 seems a Beta Version compared to Cf
2.0 (due lacking of too many features), we had to
build our visual controls to get around this. I will
try to use Rad Studio to compile for CF 2.0, it seems
very interesting. It's true, I would loose the visual
form designer and then I would need to manage Resx
resources (bitmaps, etc.) manually. But doing so, I
could use New version of Microsoft Compact Sql, so I
could immediately test our app on the desktop after
compiling (version 1.0 of Compact SQL runs only on
mobile).

I would try this method to compile CF 2.0 Apps in rad
Studio 2007, but I could not find
Borland.Delphi.System.pas, in my installation doesn't
exists at all the dotnet/rtl folder! I saw that other
users are experiencing the same problem, there's a
solution?
Thanks

I have recently realized that my compilation issues in
D2007 for .Net were due to misconfigured
directories/paths. Thus, even if all required files
were installed, Delphi complained that it could not
find Borland.Delphi.System.dcuil. The solution was to
edit the paths in "Library - NET" as follows:

Library path: $(BDS)\LIB;$(BDS)\lib\Indy10
Package output dir: $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl
DCPIL output dir: $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\dcp
Browsing path:
$(BDS)\source\dotNet\vcl;$(BDS)\source\dotNet\rtl;$(BDS)\source\dotNet\db;$(BDS)\source\dotNet\dbwebcontrols;$(BDS)\source\dotNet\xml
Namespace prefixes: Borland.Vcl
Debug DCIUL path: $(BDS)\LIB\DEBUG;$(BDS)\lib\Debug\Indy10

In particular, the namespace prefixes path was
critical. HTH.
