Type: Preconference Tutorial. Level: All. This tutorial is an informative overview of Delphi features in both Microsoft Win32 and the Microsoft .NET Framework. It represents the culmination of 9 years of using, troubleshooting and problem-solving with Delphi. Think of this tutorial as a brain dump of many, many tips, tricks, and techniques in various areas of Delphi that many developers are unaware of. Areas covered include the IDE, the RTL, the VCL for Win32 and .NET and debugging. Within each area we look at less obvious aspects that are often overlooked, sometimes because of a lack of documentation, a lack of experience, or a lack of familiarity. Bring plenty of note paper; we will cover a lot of ground in this tutorial. Prerequisites: Some experience programming with Delphi. 1002 Sunday, September 12, 2004 — 8:00am - 12:00pm Room: C1/C4 1148  Upgrading to Indy 10 Chad Hower — Atozed Software Type: Regular Session. Level: All. This session covers the changes made to Indy 10 and how to quickly port existing code. It also covers the advantages of Indy 10 and why you should port your code. While performance and other demonstrations are shown, this session is a practical overview and does not focus on demo code. Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Indy and experience with Delphi. 1148 Monday, September 13, 2004 — 3:30pm - 4:45pm Room: C1/C4 1178  Introduction to .NET FCL * Corbin Dunn — Borland Type: Regular Session. Level: All. This session covers the basics of the Framework Class Library in the Microsoft .NET Framework, including the object model and the important low-level classes in the framework. Prerequisites: None. 1178a Monday, September 13, 2004 — 2:00pm - 3:15pm Room: C1/C4 1178b Wednesday, September 15, 2004 — 11:00am - 12:15pm Room: A1/A8 1182  Managed Code Database Advantage for the Microsoft .NET Framework Platform   Steve Shaughnessy — Borland Type: Regular Session. Level: All. The Borland DataStore for the Microsoft .NET Framework database is written entirely in managed code. DataStore for .NET is highly scalable and capable of outperforming many database products not written in managed code. DataStore for .NET provides database mirroring capabilities that provide first class database fault tolerance and increased scalability. Because DataStore for .NET is written entirely in managed code, applications that are also written in managed code languages such as Delphi, C#, VB.NET, and others can safely execute in the same process as the kernel itself. Native (unmanaged) code cannot be trusted to execute in the same process as a database kernel. Much higher performance and reliability can be achieved for managed code applications that embed DataStore for .NET into the same process. DataStore for .NET also provides the same performance and reliability benefits for stored procedures and UDFs written in a popular managed code languages instead of a proprietary SQL-based stored procedure language. Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Delphi or C# programming and ADO.NET. 1182 Monday, September 13, 2004 — 2:00pm - 3:15pm Room: J4  1184  Using the Microsoft Solutions Framework with Borland Tools   Randy Miller — Microsoft Type: Regular Session. Level: All. The Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) is a risk-driven, milestone-based, iterative process framework that can be customized for use on projects of any size. Guiding MSF is a series of principles, models, disciplines, key concepts, proven practices, and recommendations. These elements create a framework, under which, existing agile processes can be scaled to the enterprise level or used on the smallest of projects. In other words, MSF advances a complimentary approach that can easily incorporate the practices of agile methods where appropriate but provides additional disciplines such as project, risk, and readiness management. This session looks at how to use MSF with the Borland toolset. Prerequisites: Beginning familiarity with change management, requirements management and modeling. 1184 Monday, September 13, 2004 — 3:30pm - 4:45pm Room: J3 1190  Converging Roads: .NET, Longhorn, and C++   Herb Sutter — Microsoft Type: Regular Session.

Level: Intermediate. In this session, two techniques are demonstrated to build multi-tier database applications: ASP.NET Web Services and .NET Remoting using Delphi as the development environment. In both cases, the server-side application will be returning DataSets to clients, and receiving DiffGrams from clients to update the remote database. The only difference is that ASP.NET Web Services require a Web server (like IIS) and ASP.NET, while .NET Remoting can rely on built-in capabilities. The latter supports different message formats and transport protocols which will also be covered, although the main focus is on the techniques to built one server that connects to several thin-client applications (i.e., clients that do not know or care to which database they are connected). Prerequisites: Some Delphi for the Microsoft .NET Framework knowledge required, prior multi-tier experience helpful. Some multi-tier/distributed or (.NET) database knowledge. 3132 Monday, September 13, 2004 — 10:00am - 11:15am Room: A3 3134  Using Janeva to Connect CORBA, Java, and .NET * Bob Swart — Bob Swart Training & Consultancy Type: Regular Session.

In this session, learn how Microsoft .NET Framework developers can use Borland Janeva to connect to CORBA servers that run on different platforms (such as Win32, Linux, and others) or to J2EE Enterprise JavaBeans built with JBuilder. In our example, we use C#Builder and Janeva to connect to an existing CORBA server written in Delphi. We will see how Janeva can make the connection to the CORBA server, and provide an easier and much faster solution than using a Web Service bridge. Prerequisites: Some CORBA or J2EE knowledge or some knowledge of the Microsoft .NET Framework. 3134a Tuesday, September 14, 2004 — 9:30am - 10:45am Room: J4 3134b Wednesday, September 15, 2004 — 8:00am - 9:15am Room: J4 3140  Developing Single Source Delphi: Win32, .NET, and Linux Chad Hower — Atozed Software Type: Regular Session.

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate. .NET Remoting is an elegant distributed system that consists of an object-oriented framework to enable remote procedure calls over any channel that implements the .NET Remoting specifications. Two of these channels are built into the framework as TCP/IP and HTTP channels, but the sky is the limit on how many you can implement to participate in the .NET Remoting Architecture. This session discusses the different channels available in the framework and the formatting objects associated with them. We include a lengthy discussion about server and client-side activation and demonstrate statefull vs. stateless objects. Finally, the session demonstrates the LifetimeServices concept in .NET Remoting and using Sponsor Objects to alter its behavior. Prerequisites: Understanding of some distributed computing technology, such as DCOM, CORBA, or RMI is recommended. 3168 Tuesday, September 14, 2004 — 8:00am - 9:15am Room: Exhibit Hall 1 3174  Automating Code Reviews    Nate Skinner — Borland Type: Regular Session.
