The following code example works fine in an all managed environment, all
Delphi 8, or linked in from C# (in fact you can reference the shared
libraries in "C:Program FilesCommon FilesBorland SharedBDSShared
Assemblies2.0" and do it all in C# if you are so inclined... and it
works, quite well in fact).

*However* if you compile it into a dll and invoke it from unmanaged code
(like oh, say... a Delphi 7 app), it dies with the following error:
"Function pointer was not created by a Delegate." Playing around with
explicit creation of TSessions and TDatabases suggest that the first BDE
related control to attempt Open/Active/etc will always die with the same
error.

m_bdeTable := TTable.Create(nil);
m_bdeTable.DatabaseName := 'c:scratch';
m_bdeTable.TableName := 'test.db';
m_bdeTable.Active := true; // <- Dies

This is a sticking point to transitioning existing Delphi 7 code into
managed libraries so I'm hoping someone has a solution. I've tried
manually creating TApplications and assigned parents and other bizarre
fix attempts but to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time,
Damon

With a licensed copy of Delphi 8 is it possible to reference and use
BDE.NET from within VB.NET and any other CLR language. Does anyone
know if BDE.NET is thread safe?
