If you have a project with automatic builds is posible that you want change the File/Product version of the file. Using the code below you can create a console application for to modify these values easily. program ChangeVersion; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} {$R *.res} uses System.SysUtils, UnParseDproj in 'UnParseDproj.pas'; procedure ChangeDprojVersion; var DprojParser : TDprojParser; begin DprojParser := TDprojParser.Create; try DprojParser.DprojFile := ParamStr(1); ...

Nick Hodges, Delphi Product Manager, has recently announced “Live Templates Contest”. Live Templates were introduced in Delphi 2006. In depth explanation of Live Templates can be found on Delphi wiki. Another great reference is Nick's camtasia presentation. As a CodeGear employee I'm not going to participate in the contest but I thought it would be cool to create a Live Template for making it easier to add XML Documentation comments into your code. Just type in "xdoc" and when you hit ente...

I've been always a great fan of XML. Yesterday, in the search for Indigo references, I've found a very interesting article by Aaron Skonnard on "Serialization in Windows Communication Foundation". It is always nice to learn directly from architects of a given technology. There is not much about WCF in there, but a lot about object to XML mapping, and how to make serialization and deserialization as flexible and transparent as possible. Especially this point seems to be the most interesting: “The...

Altova has made very clever decision to release their own XML engines - used in XML Spy and other Altova tools - as an entirely free download. AltovaXML2005 includes XML validating parser, XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0 (schema-aware), and XQuery 1.0 engines. All these four functionalities can be accessed from command-line or through COM, Java or .NET interfaces. Cool alternative for XML developers....

... is available for download from Borland Code CentralTwo years ago I've been sitting at the C#Builder Train-The-Trainer course with other consultants and presales here in the Amsterdam office. Our master trainer Juan was covering some real basic stuff, so I thought I'd rather try to write a little application for learning purposes. We were in the middle of discussion how potentially useful is C# XML Documentation feature to automate documentation creation. Quick search on the Internet revea...

I've just uploaded an update to Code Central which fixes a couple of problems you may run into if you are using moderately complex XML schema documents with the XML Data Binding Wizard. Relative paths were not being handled correctly for “includes“ and there was also a problem with resolving types. Thanks to Dave Brown and Gary Conley for bringing these issues to my attention on the borland.public.delphi.xml newsgroup. Update: June 6th 2005 - Updated the link to the downloa...
