Developers have traditionally been the front-line advocates for Borland tools within their own organizations. Now, with the release of Delphi 8 for .NET, these developers may be faced with a challenge greater than they've encountered before. This presentation is designed to provide these developers with the knowledge and facts that can help them be successful Delphi advocates.

This intense and fast-paced presentation provides an overview of the various data access technologies available in Delphi 8 for the Microsoft .NET framework. Each of the technologies is discussed in detail, and their relative strengths and limitation are examined. Technologies covered include: ADO.NET, BDP.NET, BDE.NET, ClientDataSets, dbExpress.NET, DataSnap .NET, Client IBX.NET.

BDP.NET is a collection of specialized classes that implement the data access interfaces of ADO.NET. BDP.NET simplifies the process of creating efficient, portable applications in C#Builder and Delphi 8 for .NET, and this presentation shows you how.

This presentation is an overview designed to introduce the developer to database applications in the .NET framework. It is a perfect prerequisite for developers wishing to attend any of the advanced ADO.NET talks.

Interfaces sind nun schon seit einigen Versionen Bestandteil der Sprache Object Pascal und werden trotzdem kaum genutzt, wenn es nicht gerade um die COM-Programmierung geht. Die Session zeigt, wie und wo Sie Interfaces in nativem Delphi einsetzen können und was sich bei der Schnittstellenunterstützung im .NET-System ändert.

This session is a basic introduction of ADO.NET using Delphi 8for.NET. You will learn the components involved and their interaction for binding a user-interface to underlying data. It shows that ADO.NET is radically different from both ADO and BDE data access. Finally you will learn what Borland Data Providers add to the ADO.NET world. The theory in the session is language neutral.

The tradition of having some fun while learning some advanced Delphi tricks and sabotaging the IDE gets to .NET and the last version of Delphi. This is a new edition of a very successfull talk Marco did for 3 years at BorCon US.

This presentation explores a number of classic design patterns from the GOF book from the Delphi language perspective, providing some implementation samples, covering some Delphi idioms, and offering an overview of patterns in OOP. This talk covers a little of the theory, but mostly focuses on applying patterns to the daily use of Delphi, like plugging-in features to existing VCL components.

The Delphi 8 for .NET IDE allows programmers to write their own wizards and plug-ins even more than in the past. The presentation will highlight the core features of Delphi’s ToolsApi, and provide plenty of working examples as starting points for your own development. Examples include database-related wizards, my OOP form wizard, class browsers, documentation tools, build process tools, and many others.

An overview of the classic Delphi VCL component library in the new .NET world: what’s new in VCL.NET, port your code and figure out how relevant the VCL will be in the future. The primary focus will be the visual library, more than its database or Internet support portions, with examples ranging from the use of the classic Windows common controls to the use of third party components.

While Indy has been around for many years now many people are just discovering it. This session will provide a basic introduction with basic demos that function in both .NET and Win32.

In this session, two techniques are demonstrated to build multi-tier database applications: ASP.NET Web Services and .NET Remoting using Delphi 8 for .NET as the development environment. In both cases, the server-side application will be returning DataSets to clients, and receiving "DiffGrams" (only the modifications) from clients to update the remote database at the server-side.

In this session, we cover the ClientDataSet component in three situations: using the stand-alone MyBase format, using dbExpress, and finally, using a client-side "briefcase" for DataSnap multi-tier applications. I'll use Delphi 7 and Delphi 8 for .NET to illustrate the use of ClientDataSet in VCL (for .NET) applications. Similar techniques can be applied with Kylix (on Linux) and C++Builder.

This session is for anyone interested in creating custom .NET components in Delphi for .NET. In addition to describing the steps involved in creating a new .NET component, this session will focus on several key aspects of the .NET component architecture including the event model, the graphics subsystem, and migrating from the VCL to .NET.

This session will demonstrate the internals of .NET remoting in stateful and stateless server-side activation objects and in client-side activated objects as well. Several samples will be digested as well.

This session will discuss several internal concepts in .NET and serve examples to clarify subjects like garbage collection, reflection, verification, CodeDom compilation on the fly, obfuscation, deployment, and debugging.
