Cape Cod Gunny found the PDF of the Delphi 7 Developer’s Guide (1100+ pages of good reading): Cape Cod Gunny Does Delphi: The One Manual Every Delphi Programmer Should Have!.
There are in fact quite a few more PDF manuals of older Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero products:

These I like most: Read the rest of this entry »

Too bad the Sourceforge does not do stats pages any more, so you it is a lot harder to correlate project activity with potential release dates any more.
But: about 3 weeks ago, the XE5 branch was added to the RadStudioDemos repository:

When you have a layered exception handling (for instance to translate general exceptions into domain or business exceptions, and want to control which exceptions trickle up to where), then from a debugger perspective, most exceptions actually handled.
However debugging those layers, it often makes sens to be able to break where all these exceptions are actually fired.
The screenshots (click on each to enlarge) are for Visual Studio 2010, but it works in any Visual Studio version and (since it is a debugger feature, not a language one) for all .NET languages I tried so far.
Note that as of Visual Studio 2010, if you disable these, it still breaks when exceptions are thrown from code called through reflection. This seems intentional and has 3 workarounds, but it might have been reverted in Visual Studio 2012.
This is a setting stored on the Solution level (.suo file) in Visual studio which by default is turned off. Luckily, it is very easy to turn this feature on, for instance for CLR (.NET Common Language Runtime) exceptions:
