Hi Jess,
Nice to hear that, at least I can rebuke my colleauge if ever he comes back here.
Previously, I hate Delphi but what can I do? This colleauge of mine started a major project in Delphi and leave us and we finished it. "Pero, ika nga ng kaibigan niya na nandito, BASURA daw ang program na ginawa niya, he he he, walang feasibility study kaya palpak, dami change request ng user. Di tuloy ako makaconcentrate sa C#".
More power and keep up the goodwork. Show to the Borlander's in Philippines that Visual Studio is more superior compare to Delphi.
God Bless.
>Based on our observations, software development activities in C# and VB started to peak only when VS2005 was released. And so therefore, it's quite surprising to me that there has been C# apps being converted to another language which is Delphi.

>In our case, we are currently converting our VFP app into C# and we just finished not even half of it simply because our system covers a lot of business aspects (HR/Payroll, Financial Accounting, LIS, RIS, HealthCare, Inventory & Warehousing, PatientCare, Billing...).

>>>There is actually a Delphi.NET. It works much like other .NET languages dependent on CLR. The claim that most of C# apps are being converted to Delphi is just plain hearsays or maybe some are doing it but it's a mistake IMO. While Delphi is good, it can not surpass the many advantages of C# overall. Most of the VFP programmers here are into JAVA or C#. But since Philippines is a Microsoft country, most are going to the latter.

>>>>What if its a part time job then? BTW, is it true that the trend of application development in the Philippines is that "a lot of customers who have applications develop in C# wants to re-writes in Delphi? I heard this from my colleauge who is currently in the Philippines. He even forwarded an email regarding the conversion from C# to Delphi. And my colleauge will be the one to do the re-write. Im not quite sure if its tru or not.

>>>>>>>>>>>Thank you. I'm retired, so I'll keep on plunking away on VFP because I know it better than other languages and it is all I need for what I do. But on the other hand, I see a remarkable development tool being cast aside and that bothers me. I have always viewed VFP as a possible Oracle killer, but MS never went after Oracle which to this day baffles me.
