Managed extensions for VCL are available for beta-testing on
http://www.managed-vcl.com .

Managed VCL is the best components suite to work with .Net framework from
Delphi and C++ Builder. It is designed to provide a way to interact with
applications written in anyone of .Net languages - C#, Visual Basic.Net,
JScript.Net and others.

Managed VCL can:

 -- Create .Net objects without registering them with COM.
 -- Create and use .Net objects that are not COM visible.
 -- Create .Net objects using parametrized constructors.
 -- Call properties/methods/fields of .Net object including static
properties/methods/fields.
 -- Handle .Net exceptions and get all .Net exception properties including
exception type name, StackTrace etc.
 -- Get information about loaded instance of .Net framework such as memory
usage and size of heap by generation.
 -- Load .Net assemblies with full name, file name, from stream and from
resources.

Managed VCL can not:

 -- Query .Net interface if it is not COM visible.
 -- Work with .Net events.
 -- Work with .Net controls.
 -- Managed VCL will not turn your Delphi or C++ Builder into .Net language
and some features may not be available.

Managed VCL includes special components for:

 -- ADO.Net - supports almost all ADO.Net features. Components to work with
all standard .Net providers (those that are available in .Net framework) are
included.
 -- JScript.Net - lets you execute JScript.Net scripts from Delphi/C++
Builder application.

Platforms:

Currently Delphi 5, Delphi 6 and Delphi 7 are supported. Support for C++
Builder 5 and C++ Builder 6 is planned.

Requirements:

.Net framework 1.1.

Restrictions:

Managed VCL beta version will run only when Delphi IDE is running.

Prices:

Managed VCL is planned to be sell for:
 -- $125 without source code
 -- $250 with source code.

Becoming Power Tester now for $175 will let you access to Managed VCL source
code and you will be automaticcally registered for Managed VCL with source
code when it will be available.
