Can you rephrase that question? I don't understand it.

Escaping UK pound sign in JSON
Lars Fosdal replied to david_navigator's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
No. PS C:\Users\foslar> '£'|ConvertTo-Json "£" -
Such issues needs to be raised directly with EMBT. Noone here can assist in resolving them.

Delphi (11.2) IDE stops after "All design time packages loaded", but works in admin mode
Lars Fosdal replied to rudy999's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Is there a Nexus db connected component in one of the apps of yours, which is active at design-time, but which db cannot be reached from your PC? -
D11 Update 1 + FireDAC + ODBC to Sage returning wrong data!
Lars Fosdal replied to Jasonjac2's topic in Databases
This is indeed weird. Have you called CoInitialize(nil); CoUnInitialize; at start/end of app/threads? -
D11 Update 1 + FireDAC + ODBC to Sage returning wrong data!
Lars Fosdal replied to Jasonjac2's topic in Databases
Good point. I forgot about that since we don't use DB controls but feed regular grids from our query data. -

Lars Fosdal replied to Jasonjac2's topic in Databases
I don't see any such limitation mentioned? -
Is it possible that an exception does not inherits from Exception class?
Lars Fosdal replied to Wagner Landgraf's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
I assumed any unmatched on-events would have been silenced. If E is nil - logging will be incomplete in some cases, since I pass the exception object to Eurekalog to capture a callstack for the log. It probably would be quite rare, though. -

Not from the top of my head. I would definitively check the monitor to see if there is something enlightening in there? -

Lars Fosdal replied to Wagner Landgraf's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
With TCP/UDP/Serial, JsonRPC, REST, Databases and conversions and partial data transfers possible - you tend to accumulate a number of these. -
Is it possible that an exception does not inherits from Exception class?
Lars Fosdal replied to Wagner Landgraf's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
When dealing with live data, there is no end to what can go wrong - so no - I do not have a small number of top level exception handlers. -
Is it possible that an exception does not inherits from Exception class?
Lars Fosdal replied to Wagner Landgraf's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
That is extremely significant. I have countless numbers of these and I am starting to wonder if they should be rewritten to try // ... except on E: Exception do begin end else raise; end; and then have a general handler for those further out. Or.... just log "An unidentified terrible event happened." -

FDQuery.FetchOptions - Does changing Unidirectional to True have any effect? FDQuery.FormatOptions have a TON of settings, including map rules - which may solve encoding issues if the ODBC doesn't provide all the info that FireDAC wants. I.e. you can explicity specify the type of value that the db field should be translated to. From the Delphi Tools menu: FireDAC Explorer can help with experimenting with Format/Fetch options. FireDAC Monitor can also give good insight into the low level goings on when your application is running. Edit: I also wrote this a few years back: . -
D11 Update 1 + FireDAC + ODBC to Sage returning wrong data!
Lars Fosdal replied to Jasonjac2's topic in Databases
I was thinking along the lines of eliminating the way the 32-bit ODBC is used as the core problem for the Delphi app. The next thing I'd look at, would be encoding, language, locale issues. -

Lars Fosdal replied to Jasonjac2's topic in Databases
@Jasonjac2 Do you get the same problems with the 64-bit ODBC and a 64-bit Delphi app? -
Best Practice Question: Bidirectional EXE-to-EXE communication
Lars Fosdal replied to Alexander Halser's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
Regular TCP telegrams are low cost, event oriented, cross platform, cross tool. The only hassle is identifying the port of the server, which typically would be a config setting. -

Async/Await with updating visual controls
Lars Fosdal replied to omnibrain's topic in OmniThreadLibrary
I do 🙂 Both to deliver tasks to worker threads, and to collect the updates and results. -

How do i control the Login Form shape of Datasnap Rest Service
Lars Fosdal replied to mazluta's topic in VCL
Datasnap is intended for serving applications with data, not for being a custom Web UI. Not sure if you can customize any html part of it? -
Personally, I'd sacrifice build speed over code speed, and there are ways to reduce the impacts of slower build speeds, like continous background builds, etc.

Please note that since it still is marked as beta - there may be issues. If you find something, please report it.

The version resource of the default installed XMLMapper says 28.0.47991.2819 which only indicates it was built at the same time as the IDE. It still can't handle a recursive .xsd definition file. But, in GetIt - you'll find and that can handle my recursive .xsd - so that version appears to be the one with the new features!

The What's New presentation made a point of the number of issues that were fixed for 11.x versions - nearly 3k of them. The amount of issues highlights the need for a change in their development process. The marketing driven release process needs to come to an end, and a quality driven release process to replace it. There are many good developers in the team, but there is not enough time/resource to ensure that quality is the primary goal. There also seems to be developers that write code that really is sub par, but no process that corrects it. Instead, it seems to be, "let's add this cool new feature for the sales guys and release it on this pre-determined date to make sure marketing can maximize their campaigns". That needs to change.

Android not installing and being setup correctly
Lars Fosdal replied to JohanSwart's topic in Cross-platform
I recommend strongly EITHER using the web installer OR using the ISO - never both. Did you connect an Android device? and read these? https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/FireMonkey_Platform_Prerequisites https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Android_Mobile_Application_Development https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Creating_an_Android_App We are unable to guess which ones.
