At least I won this bet. You should always post the parent class as don't everyone will have the complete source. By openning the System.Classes.pas it's clear what to do: procedure TCustomMemoryStream.SetPointer(Ptr: Pointer; const Size: NativeInt); change the method signature to match.

You should at least provide a compiler error message. From here we don't know which class it's inherited from. I don't like to gamble but will make an exception my guess is that you should change the parameters of the method to match the signature from the parent class?

Delphi 11 can be tough on debugging. I also have problem to debug a code in a package. Sometimes I can place a break point and works as expected sometimes I have to use ShowMessages to debug. Build all can help (but not always).

Without seeing a code the UI reading from a working thread could be a problem as that must be synchronized. The working thread should post information or synchronize with the UI.

Most probably there was no QP ticket to implement this logic?

You can find out in the Help: Use debug .dcus The debug DCUs contain debug information and are built with stack frames. When this option is checked, the compiler adds the debug DCU path to the search paths specified in Debug Source Path on the Embarcadero Debuggers page.

Open a ticket at https://quality.embarcadero.com/ with the steps how to get Access Violation.

Yes you can, before you compile the package uninstall all the packages that depends on that one. That should improve the situation. Unfortunately this is a "known" issue and impossible to report (as it's hard to make the required test case). PS. For a project group I even have a situation that some days Access Violation is almost every time triggered when I compile an application without runtime packages.

uses Xml.XMLIntf, Xml.XMLDoc; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var MyXMLDocument : IXMLDocument; FounderNode : IXMLNode; begin MyXMLDocument := TXMLDocument.Create(nil); MyXMLDocument.Active := true; MyXMLDocument.Version:='1.0'; MyXMLDocument.DocumentElement := MyXMLDocument.CreateNode('ab', ntElement,''); MyXMLDocument.DocumentElement.DeclareNamespace('xsi', 'https://www.guru99.com/XMLSchema-instance'); MyXMLDocument.DocumentElement.DeclareNamespace('xsd', 'https://www.guru99.com/XMLSchema'); MyXMLDocument.DocumentElement.SetAttributeNS('xmlns', '','MyString'); FounderNode := MyXMLDocument.DocumentElement.AddChild('founder'); FounderNode.NodeValue:='Krishna'; MyXMLDocument.SaveToFile('TestOne01.XML'); MyXMLDocument.Active := false; end; You have to set the version and MyString should be the 3rd parameter not the second one.

There is a hope for Delphi 11 CE; my bet is that it's going to be released after Delphi 12. In order to learn more about the release date and roadmap I suggest to apply for a job at Embarcadero (that's the only legal way to get information).

You can access the windows handle using WindowHandleToPlatform. .

Google thinks this is a way to achieve it: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9364

This should be part of the installation of your application. For example Inno Setup can do it for you.

Make your application DPI aware and the dialog should be same on every settings.

It's not. There were Embarcadero webinars on this topic.

You can also test with regular VCL controls, the bug could be also in the DevExpress controls. With VCL placed on the form I don't have had placement problems.

It's fine until you get an exception, which will result in a memory leak.

Never had deadlock when using amblocking. On the other hand in D11 sometimes amCancelDialog will not work on query. You must change for the connection before and change back after the query is finished.

(I believe earlier if you have had no valid licence there was no possibility to renew the previous one. The only option was to buy a new licence.)

I do get codeinsight loading, however almost never freeze delphi. Maybe try using process monitor to spy what code insight and / or the IDE is doing.

For third party and IDE settings you can use the migration tool (migrationtool.exe in the bin folder of the Delphi available for a couple of versions). As far as I know it will not download packages from getit, that could cause problems. I like to stay on the safe side and reinstall everything.

What is the metric for efficiency? You would have to iterate the query and for every record check the value in a memory structure if it's there you have duplicate if not insert into it. You can store the list in an array, list or a hash table.

it's a bad idea, only English text should be saved as ANSI, otherwise you should always save as UTF-8.

most probably in the part: ..... /////
