Re: Install the components of "SMComponent"

It is not really that hard to do.

First copy the files SMCmpntR7.* to SMCmpntR9.*
Now copy the files SMCmpntD7.* to SMCmpntD9.*

Edit the SMCmpntR9.dpk file changing SMCmpntR7; to SMCmpntR9;
Edit the SMCmpntD9.dpk file changing SMCmpntD7; to SMCmpntD9;
and SMCmpntR7; to SMCmpntR9;

Next edit all of the *.pas files containing "{$IFDEF VER150}"
and copy the enclosed block of code to a new block of
starting with "{$IFDEF VER170}"

Example:
{$IFDEF VER150}
{$DEFINE SMForDelphi6}
{$DEFINE SMForDelphi7}
{$ENDIF}

{$IFDEF VER170}
{$DEFINE SMForDelphi6}
{$DEFINE SMForDelphi7}
{$ENDIF}

about nine *.pas files need to be updated.

In the file "SMDBComb.pas" you will need to add "VDBConsts" to the uses list.

That is about all that it takes to update the library for use in BDS2005.
