When the suggestions from Out-of-Memory in RAD XE7 and -noparser from Tried to patch BDS.exe fails to, then this suggestion by Brian Hamilton on G+ might work:
From a post in the EMB forum, a work around for XE7 is
I follow the hint of Thomas Grusche renaming the following files:
- Borland.Studio.Delphi.dll
- Borland.Studio.Refactoring.dll
- refactoride210.bpl
This makes the XE7 IDE usable again.
Just the refactoring feature aren’t available anymore.

Markus Joos started a nice G+ thread on anonymous method formatting which ended up into a discussion of functional programming and a peek into what Spring4D 1.3 can offer.
Note you might need to be part of the G+ Delphi Developers Community to read the thread.

This is the way a wiki should work:
Thanks Simon Stuart for asking, and many others (especially Johan) for providing the info.
Note the version that is missing (;

Normal people would give Valentine presents today.
But 20 years ago, Borland thought it was a nice idea to release Delphi. Then a revolutionary new tool and lots of scepticism. Now – after 20 years – still going strong, despite all kinds of funny things that management at Borland, InPrise, etc did and the wild ride the market had.
Happy birthday Delphi!

After a hectic week bringing back memories from a long time ago, I remembered the really early Delphi days.
Long before [WayBack] QC2747, back when it was still called AppBuilder, several people – including me – made the wish for an undo/redo functionality on the Delphi compuserve board.
Back then, the argument was that the designer needed to be restructured to do that. Now that it has – to accommodate FMX – and it is time, especially for the vast majority of Delphi users primarily using the designers to get work done.
So my wish, after 20+ years of Delphi use:
Please bring multi-level undo/redo functionality in the Delphi designer (form, datamodule, etc).

With the common-place of High DPI it is surprising the IDE hasn’t gotten more love in this respect.
The VCL can do it (Dalija Prasnikar knows an awful lot about Delphi High DPI), but the IDE can’t yet (it is *****^H^H^H^H^H very irritating that you need to login to see quality portal reports though apart from Google not being able to index them: the main reason I don’t file bug reports any more – QC is no alternative as it it is more or less defunct – but I digress).
With Delphi turning 20 years old this week, hopefully Embarcadero comes out with official steps to make recent versions of Delphi XE* High DPI aware.
Right now there is only some hearsay it might work: Does anyone have idea about how to make Delphi IDE (XE7) support High DPI…
–jeroen
PS:
High DPI awareness is must have feature for XE8.
Not only for Delphi IDE, but also for VCL and FMX frameworks.

Because of Delphi sorcery: New dynamic array type in Spring4D 1.2, I updated this article from 2009: Delphi operator overloading: table of operators, names, and some notes on usage and ‘glitches’.
When I wrote the original article in 2009 the in operator wasn’t documented to be overloadable.
It is overloadable, and newer documentation includes it: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Operator_Overloading_%28Delphi%29.
In addition I clarified a few things better (like not needing to return Boolean for comparison and set operators) and fixed a few typos and links.
The glitches are still there, so I’ve kept those.

Thanks Uwe Raabe for sharing
This sounds interesting: http://www.twodesk.com/castalia/thanks.html

As the page then read:

Castalia for Delphi is not currently available. Thank you for your interest.

This used to be a great Delphi-only feature that I missed in Visual Studio, but I found the downloadable free extension Favorite Documents extension.
It is a by Sergey Vlasov, who has a whole bunch of free and paid Visual Studio add-ins, extensions and tools.

A very nice thread around multi-threading in Delphi is evolving at Google Plus: Nick Hodges: Man, the chapter on Multi-threading is going to be seriously hard to write.….
Note: you need to be member of that G+ group to read it, but Nick Hodges allows most people in…

(I also tagged it XE8, as by the time such a book arrives, that Delphi version has most likely come out given the past release frequency <g>)
