Re: Delphi to Visual Studio Conversion Project

Anonymous a écrit :

Found this on the guru.com website. Any comments on the wisdom of a conversion like this? Cost vs. staying with Delphi? Is there really a scaling problem that VS can handle that Delphi can't?

Apart from changing to the "flavour of the month" IDE, even thouhg I use and love VS and C#, this seems like folly to me. There really isn't that much more, within the remit given, that Delphi can't handle. Before choosing C# for things like generics and GC, we had a multi-tier app completely written in Delphi with no problems at all.
