Like many other here I am thinking about migrating to C#/.NET. I would like to hear about your experiences. - Does it have good database components? Like TADODataSet, TDBGrid etc.? - Does it have good GUI design support like TPanel, TFrame? - Which components do you miss that you had with BCB?

Like TADODataSet, TDBGrid etc.? The native .NET data access components is called ADO.NET and uses a similar interface, which helps to keep the learning curve down (once you're used to ADO.NET, all you need is data provider to talk to your database). Borland has extended ADO.NET with the Borland Data Providers for .NET (available in C#Builder and Delphi 8 for .NET). BDP for .NET has a number of advantages over "plain" ADO.NET, including better design-time support and the fact that a single set of components can be used to connect to different databases. Quote: - Does it have good GUI design support like TPanel, TFrame? WinForms contains a new set of visual components. Delphi 8 for .NET also supports the VCL for .NET, but these are hard to use outside Delphi, since they require the VCL Designer (which currently only ships with Delphi 8 for .NET). Quote: - Which components do you miss that you had with BCB? DataSnap components, XMLDocument, XML Data Binding, XML Mapper, WebBroker and WebSnap (also ASP.NET is great).
