Delphi – finding out the design-time package name of a unit

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/24

    // some business logic
  end;
end;

So, “for … in” is a cool feature, but now I wanted to do the same for a TPageControl:

Speaking @ DelphiLive ’09, May 13-16, San Jose

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/21

I’ll be speaking during DelphiLive ’09 that is held from May 13-16 in San Jose (CA, USA, not any of the other San Jose cities).

This is going to be a top event with really knowledgeable Delphi speakers from all over the world.
Besides the 2 sessions that I’m doing, I’ll be hanging around as are the other speakers.

So feel free to approach us, and learn from the things we learned. Or teach us something new: all of us are eager to learn as well as teach!

The downloads are now available.
