Delphi has a new "personality" that they call FireMonkey. Like Delphi, it uses the same Ojbect Pascal language. But Firemonkey dispenses with the older Delphi VCL (visual control library) which consisted, largely, of wrappers around existing Windows controls.

Hi, I am new to delphi and would like to understand more about OO techniques. The application I have developed uses ADO technology. I would like to know some basics of how to define a class that uses ADOQUery and ADODatabase objects to connect to the database and perform updates. As I come from VB background I would like to convert my query methods to classes. For example, I have a pas file which has set of query statements and I would like to convert this file to a class. There is a set of functions which takes in a parameter and returns the query string as output. Function buildtestquery(paramname:string; paramname1:string):string;How to build something which is more generic as I dont want to keep increasing the number of inputs to the function as the number of parameters increases. Do I create a class which uses TParam and define the parameters from my form when I need to execute this query? Any explanation and example code will be useful for me to understand this better.Thanks.,
The dynamic language runtime (DLR) browser plug in is a paired down version of the common language runtime, similar to the compact framework for Pocket PCs, that installs as a browser plug in and runs in the process space of the browser. In other words, the DLR is Microsoft's entry into the browser sand box fray (ala Sun Java and Adobe Flex).
The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a new application, vs gaming, graphics engine that addresses many of the problems of the GDI. In particular, WPF dynamically scales the UI elements of your app to make the most of the available screen resolution. Ironically, at the base of WPF, the DirectX gaming engine is doing most the work.
WPFe is a scaled down version of WPF designed to run in the process space of the browser and install as a browser plug in.

What is the difference between a normal and an associative array with the help of an example. can i get the explanation on the same?
(Moved from knowledge base.)
An associative array links one set of unique values with another set of values (not necessarily unique). Think of an associative array as a two column table. An array is just a set of values. Think of a regular array as a single column table. I also know associative arrays as "dynamic arrays" in ObjectPAL, a "lookup" table in DBA terms, and dictionaries or HashTables in C#. You didn't say which language you wanted an example in so here's an ...
My entire website is written in .aspx, i have a voting poll that a friend made for me that was written in .asp, I have been trying to research on the internet on how exactly to get my .asp voting poll on my .aspx site. Do any of you .aspx gurus out there know a site with information that could help me get started in the right direction on how i can get this working correctly? Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.
Thank you very much ASPguy, i hope you think of something that i wasnt able to think of. If you are unable to think of a way to get this working, do you or anyone else have any suggestions for me to get a poll on my .aspx website ? Maybe theres a developer tool out there that has a good poll that comes with it, or maybe some good voting software that is compatible with .aspx? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you very mu...
How do I go about connecting to Paradox tables using VS.NET. I'm new to VS.NET and at the moment feel VB.NET is the way to go. We currently only require to read the Paradox tables (if that makes life easier). We are starting to develop Web sites and initially will access data contained within our legacy Paradox CRM applications.RegardsJon
Wes,Many thanks for your reply. I have tried to follow your steps. Creating the ODBC is fine.When I come to adding the textbox and accessing the Data | Data Bindings Property I do not have an Advanced option only the '...' button which opens a form entitled 'Textbox1 DataBindings'. This form has all the properties of the textbox but no mention of enabling binding or clicking 'Add Project Datasource'I'm using VS 2003 btwRegardsJon
