<0> if it's like any of the last ones.
<1> I should ask him who took his place in TeamB
<1> :)
<2> oh its mr... I've done great things for borland.
<0> you don't like him?
<2> someone here doesn't.
<1> who likes anyone from TeamB?
<2> I've never met, interacted with or formed any judgement on him.
<2> someone here messaged his blog and demanded he show what he's done...
<0> who?
<0> the way it looks he spends all his time on the newsgroups
<0> just like in teambitch.
<1> prolly me, I'm a real TeamB hater
<1> :P
<2> I don't recall.
<2> this devco they're talking about is a pretty small company in my city.
<3> i have to agree with what they're saying right now
<1> which is?
<3> Borland wasn't giving the resources to Delphi, and other IDEs
<2> they specialise in accPAC addins, utilites, etc.
<0> hasn't given it since d5 time.
<3> "borland" the big company was not giving the resources
<0> MrBtrieve: not since d5 or so
<0> nothing new
<3> so ... with the new company, things will be different.
<1> might
<3> no more rushing out a product, etc
<4> Things have the potential to be different.
<3> exactly
<4> WE don't know yet for sure, though.
<5> someone bought delphi?
<1> we all did
<1> ;)
<2> oh this is the Borland Devco
<2> not the vancouver DevCo
<0> of course.
<1> Mike Swindell Development Corporation
<1> :P
<2> last I heard it was "a great name" but it wasn't official.
<1> i should suggest that to him on his blog
<2> yay! unicode vcl coming...
<6> In 2020
<2> nothing on when.
<6> I just told you
<6> :)
<0> unicode vcl, wasn't that on the planning last year too "?
<7> is this valid: if (MyList.Count = 0) and not (SMTPMessage = '') then ?
<4> unicode vcl, coming soon ONLY for VCL.NET
<0> heh
<0> that's lame
<4> I bet they do it.
<4> Betcha, betcha.
<1> VCL.NET, only for win32
<1> :P
<8> phrostix: it's syntaxically valid
<3> just keep win32 support there. That's all i ask.
<1> for .NET?
<1> nein!
<9> I always used New() instead of Initialize(), now I don't know the difference, and I see it's used in an example :/ someone care to explain :/
<1> New()
<1> heh
<1> that's so VB.NET
<7> Mithandir: I meant: if (MyList.Count = 0) and not (SMTPMessage.Body.Text = '') then
<8> still syntaxically valid as far as I know
<7> would that test to make sure SMTPMessage.Body.Text doesn't equal '' ?
<8> yes
<1> mith: you need parens on the not
<7> Mithandir: cools
<8> alternatively you can use <>
<8> Blade: nah
<1> really?
<1> you should
<9> Mithandir: Do you use WideString with your db apps? :P
<4> TByte: new allocates memory, and that's it. Initialize allocates, and zeros / nulls / whatevers memory
<8> Blade: why ?
<1> mith: because you have to with other expressions, it seems more logical
<8> TByte: only when forced
<8> you don't have to with other expressions
<1> yes you do
<9> Drk`Angel: so with strings it's best using Initialize I suppose... New() would "NULL" the string records :/ ?
<9> I don't believe I'm asking this, I never had problems :)
<4> new doesn't do anything.
<1> mith: you cannot do: if x = 0 and Y <> 5 then
<8> it's just that boolean operators and binary operators are higher than comparison operators
<4> It just sets the memory aside, the contennts of it are unchanged.
<4> So, it has whatever was in it last tiem it got written to.
<8> Blade: no, because it does the "0 and Y" (with and a binary operator) first
<9> ah, I see... so yes, I can't have strings in my record, and using new() it will **** it up
<8> you just need to know your order of whatsitcalled
<9> Drk`Angel explains invalid pointer operation I've been getting
<4> Why the hell are you using new anyways?
<4> use objects.
<4> New is so 1996.
<1> mith: precidence
<8> thats' the one :)
<1> mith: but that doesn't mean they shouldn't, i'd much prefer to see ()
<8> not me
<1> yes well
<1> enough said
<1> ;)
<8> :P
<8> I write most of my SQL WHERE clauses without () :)
<1> oh i do that
<8> AND before OR, 's long as you know that you're fine
<4> SQL doesn't have ****ed up precidence like delphi does.
<4> :)
<8> MS's SQL generators add a LOT of brackets
<4> Ify ou use a sql generator you deserve what you get.
<1> you should look at Access `SQL`
<8> headaches ?
<1> :P
<8> Blade^: that's the one I'm referring too mostly
<8> MS SQL SQL is just as bad
<7> Blade^: So should I use: if (MyList.Count =0) and (SMTPMessage.Body.Text <> '') then , instead ?
<8> phrostix: I would
<8> it makes things clearer, most programmers don't have a 10 character attention span
<7> Mithandir: lol;
<4> "it makes t" ... what, that makes no sense.
<10> i want to populate a stringlist with the names of network computers.. can anyone point me in the right direction?
<1> code?
<1> the LM functions will help you
<1> NetEnum* etc
<10> thanks.. ill go look them up
<9> net view :P
<3> cool
<3> Borland doesn't feel you NEED to move to .NET
<3> my respect has grown
<11> I thought .NET was made to make programmers lazier ;)
<12> sounds like they don't have any plans to phase out win32 then..
<13> joe90: That's 100% correct. Borland has no plans to phase out win32.
<13> They fully intend to keep supporting win32 indefinitely.
<12> nice..
<3> very nice.
<8> hm
<3> unless i change jobs.
<8> let's hope they might want to do win64 tho
<3> but i don't foresee that happening
<3> 64 bit support is on their roadmap, yes.
<8> yes, but I know borland's roadmaps
<8> is it sheduled for before or after they cure aids ?
<3> <sarcasm>Combine that with the fact that Borland is still dieing.</sarcasm>
<0> how nice
<0> I got disconnected for a while
<8> Oh noes! The HORROR
<2> well that wasn't much to hang your hopes on.
<2> MrBtrieve: were you the aohlson?
<13> Well, that was interesting.
