|
|
Hi,
We have some applications developed by D5 and we are planning to upgrade D5
to D7/D8. In the market, do there have any conversion tools are convenience
for upgrading exist program coding from D5 to D7/D8? For evaluation purpose.
Thanks

You typically do not need conversion tools. What you need are versions of all
the 3rd-party components you are using for your target Delphi version, unless
you have the full source code and can recompile the component yourself.
Otherwise a well-written Delphi app usually moves pretty easily to a new
version. The step to D8 is different, however, since this is also a step from
Win32 land to .NET, which is a completely different environment for a program.
I suggest you first port to D7. The D7 compiler can issue some warnings
specific to code that will not work in .NET as is. This way you can identify
problem areas and remove them in your D7/Win32 version first before you go to
Delphi 8.
