Wow: Microsoft OneDrive for Business modifies files as it syncs | Myce.com.
For now Microsoft Cloud Storage is not the place for my data to be.
(Note: OneDrive used to be called SkyDrive)
The only cloud storage that worked for me without too much trouble is Copy.com. My referral there: https://copy.com?r=3NGul6.

Call for help: Spring4D and Delphi MultiCast events: working for Win32, Win64 and Mac OS X x64, but Android/iOS ARM help needed.
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22
Years after Allen Bauer and a few others wrote about Delphi MultiCast events, the Spring4D framework now supports MultiCast events on 3 platforms:
- Win32
- Win64
- Mac OS x86
Depending on the platform, the minimum required Delphi version is this (the develop branch builds in Delphi XE6):
- Win32: Delphi 2010 and up.
- Win64: Delphi XE2 and up.
- MacOSX: Delphi XE2 and up.
There are plans for support on Mobile platforms, and Spring4D needs help with that:
- The Intel implementation is written in Assembly, and fast.
- The Arm compiler does not allow Assembly language for various reasons.
So there is a need for an ARM solution not based on assembly in the Delphi code, preferably as cross-platform as possible. Read the rest of this entry »

The only one not yet having XE6 support is this one:

Raize Components 6 updates for Delphi XE6
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22
Just found out that a new version of Raize Components 6 with Delphi XE6 support got released.
Raize Components 6 actually supports Delphi 2009 through XE6 (and C++ Builder and RAD Studio).
Older Delphi versions are also supported by older Raize Component versions, as Ray Konopka posted last year:
- Raize Components 4 supported Delphi 5 through Delphi 2007.
- Raize Components 5 supported Delphi 7 through Delphi XE.
- Raize Components 6 supports Delphi 2009 through Delphi XE5 (now XE6).
via Raize Software Support Forums • View topic – Installing multiple versions of the Raize Components.
(In the above quote, I included the links to the various trial versions).
There is also the famous Demo program download RCDemo.zip and nice videos:
- From CodeRage 7: Effectively Using Raize Components.
- From CodeRage 6: UI Design with Raize Components and RAD Studio XE2.
- From CodeRage 5: UI Design with Raize Components.
For the dot version nitpickers, here are the current versions as of writing: Read the rest of this entry »

In C#, given a DateTime object, how do I get a ISO8601 date in string format? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22
The first bulleted link below has been living in my drafts like forever (i.e. somewhere since mid June 2009), so time to write a bit about ISO 8601 and .NET.
First a few links about converting a DateTime into ISO 8601 string format:
- In C#, given a DateTime object, how do I get a ISO8601 date in string format? – Stack Overflow.
- datetime – Date format c# – Stack Overflow.
Some solutions use the “K” as a time zone specifier. At first, I couldn’t find any documentation for it, not even Google Search for Google Search for “ssK” DateTime ToString returns anything useful.
Later on, I found The “K” Custom Format Specifier in Custom Date and Time Format Strings.
So my preferred solutions for me are these:
System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssK");System.DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssK");
I avoid these:
System.DateTime.Now.ToString("o");
because it gets you too many digits in the second fracion.System.DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("s") + "Z";
because it is less clear what it does (might be resolved with a comment).
