BORLAND Software Corporation has come out with the Borland Delphi 8 for the Microsoft .NET Framework. More than half of the Borland customers who are Delphi developers are planning to move to the .NET Framework within the next year.

The latest edition of the Delphi development environment will help Delphi developers use their existing Delphi language and Framework skills to create .NET Framework-based applications and migrate existing Win32 Delphi applications to the .NET Framework.

This new development environment is designed to enable rapid development of rich and reliable applications with Microsoft ASP.NET Web Forms & XML Web services for robust Web development, Windows Forms and Visual Control Library (VCL) Controls and hundreds of included classes and controls to accelerate design-driven development.

An official statement quoting Mr Satyen Parikh, Managing Director, Indian Subcontinent, Borland, said: "Delphi 8 for the .NET Framework is engineered to address the needs of Delphi developers by providing a pure Delphi, pure .NET Framework solution with support for all .NET Framework classes."

According to the statement, development teams will be able to use Delphi 8 for the .NET Framework to upgrade their Delphi investments by sharing components and source with over 20 languages that run on the .NET Framework/.

They can also increase their competitive advantage by developing for the next-generation Windows platform and augmenting reliability.
