Will there be Indy v10 components on BCB2006?
jar...@mail.suomenmaa.fi
just planned to upgrade from BCB6Pro to BCB2006 (Borland Developer Studio
2006 Professional).
When I looked Feature Matrix at
http://www.borland.com/resources/en/pdf/products/delphi/bds2006_feature_matrix.pdf,
I noticed that under headline 'WEB/INTERNET DEVELOPMENT:VCL/VCL.NET' at
page 15 its said that Indy v10 components will be available for Delphi,
Delphi .NET and C#.NET only, (codes dD# in matrix).
Anyone out there know will Indy v10 components be available for C++Builder
in Borland Developer Studio 2006 Professional?

simply because they are the one writing the components.
Anyway it is clear to me from all the hype over the last few months that
the promise of C++ Builder 2006 is that it will be able to automatically
use components that exists in other languages within the IDE. Remember
there is really no distinction between the products being named just the
languages.

That is not entirely true. It can only use components written in C++ or
Delphi, just like it always has. It will not be able to use components
written in C#. And in order for Delphi to share packages with C++, the
packge has to be explicitally configured in the Options to output C++ files
(HPP, LIB, BPx, etc) in addition to Delphi files (DCU, etc).

'personality' of Developer Studio 2006?
Or are all componets shared between Delphi and C++ in Developer Studio 2006?

When BDS 2006 is actually released, I will be making sure personally that
Indy works in the C++ personality ;-) There are three main obstacles that
are keeping Indy 10 from being supported in BCB v6 right now:
1) lack of talent - I am about the only C++ member on the Indy team, which
means that everything C++-related in Indy falls on my shoulders. That
includes making sure that any Delphi->C++ cross-compatibility issues are
addressed.
2) lack of install files - Indy 10 doesn't have any official install files
for C++. There are some third-party ones floating around, and there are
some experimental ones inside Indy's team, but they have not been confirmed
yet because of #3...
3) lack of time - I don't have much of it.

No, components are not always shared. C++ can still have its own components
that do not appear in Delphi, and vice versa. There are new settings for
packages that allow packages to specify which personalities they want to
target, and then the IDE can filter the installed packages based on that.
The filtering is part coding, part configuration.

So I can safely upgrade to BDS 2006 ASAP (with a preorder-price!)...
Thanks!

I can start contributing in some useful way(?) but I suffer from the
problems listed below like you. Ok maybe you have the talent... :)
What kind of roadmap or approach are you using that maybe I can try a
thing or two (or 3 or 4 ....)...
