As of Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (I think it was there in the original non-SP1 version of VS2010), Microsoft has hidden the addition of classic ASCX webservices as they favour WCF over ASPX (there are quite a few differences).
It is easy to workaround though as Stack Overflow users User Cyberherbalist and User Alejandro Martin have shown, with a little bit post-editing from me: Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes a naming convention has been in place for quite a while, then new functionality breaks it.
One of the naming conventions in the JVCL is that all Delphi design-time packages follow the naming pattern *Design##.bpl
Until a package with run-time design functionality came along named (for Delphi XE3) as JvRuntimeDesign170.bpl. The actual design-time package for that is JvRuntimeDesignDesign170.bpl (:
I guess some of the reporting tools bumped into the same thing when they added run-time design support as well.

For some remote monitoring, I needed to get information on UNC paths.
Though suggested, you cannot do this using the System.IO.DriveInfo class (not through the constructor, nor through the VB.NET FileSystem way) as that is about drives, not UNC paths. The System.IO.DriveInfo constructor clearly indicates it doesn’t work with UNC paths. And if you still try, this is the error you will get:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled)
HResult=-2147024809
Message=Object must be a root directory ("C:\") or a drive letter ("C").
Source=mscorlib
StackTrace:
at System.IO.DriveInfo..ctor(String driveName
Same for WMI: that only works when the UNC path has already been mapped to a drive letter.
You could do with adding a temporary drive letter but since there is nothing as permanent as a temporary…
The actual solution is based on calling Windows API functions using P/Invoke. Read the rest of this entry »

Another instalment in the WordPress Missed Schedule series (:
Each version, Delphi gets more features, and grows bigger.
Especially in testing environments (where you want to have a cut-down base machine you can clone from), it is wise to cut down on the installation size.
A few directories you might want to consider compressing for your Delphi installation:
C:\Users\All Users\{*}C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD StudioC:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\#.0\lib–jeroen

Another one in the “WordPress Missed schedule” series.
Below are the Android remote screen monitoring/viewer/mirror tools I know about:
I primarily use Droid@Screen as so far it works best for me.
But I keep a close eye on the other two just to make sure I don’t miss improvements.

Onderstaand een aantal links hoe de diverse kenmerken en nummers van de belastingdienst zijn opgebouwd.
Ooit maak ik daar een leuk stukje software voor (:
Op aanslagen en aangiftes van de belastingdienst zijn vaak codes te vinden, deze codes geven informatie over het soort aanslag en de periode van de aangifte of aanslag.

If you an error like below when compiling Delphi XE5 .dproj files using msbuild … then note the documentation for Debug information (Delphi) – RAD Studio. has not been updated yet as it still lists the values {$D+} or {$D-} {$DEBUGINFO ON} or {$DEBUGINFO OFF}.
(_PasCoreCompile target) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\12.0\Bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets(187,5): error F1026: File not found: 'False.dpr'
With Delphi XE5, you can specify 3 additional values: {$D1}, {$D2} and {$D0}, or {$DEBUGINFO 1}, {$DEBUGINFO 2} or {$DEBUGINFO 0}
In the msbuild .dproj files , the values are stored as DCC_DebugInformation elements. Read the rest of this entry »
