Common Delphi third-party controls

1, Devexpress VCL This basically covers the system interface and database display of all aspects, is to do desktop system must have a set of controls, support Win32 and Win64.

2, Autoupgrader This is an automatic update of a small control, for the desktop program updates automatically, but since 2007, has not been updated.

3, Devart company produced UNIDAC,ODAC,SDAC,IBDAC, these are the current Delphi database access to the best control, UNIDAC almost all database access, and the latter is for each to provide dedicated access and control functions, especially ODAC, Oracle can be connected directly using TCP/IP, eliminating the hassle of installing Oracle clients, ideal for a variety of applications (in Xe2, you can already directly support the iphone to access Oracle).

4. Advanced data export and advanced import This is an EMS company produced by importing, exporting control, almost can import, export a variety of commonly used data formats, database conversion and backup of the necessary control.

5, Nativexml is to generate and parse XML file and format a non-visual control (when used, the direct reference unit), is a lightweight XML parser, support Windows and Linux, previously charged, is now open source.

6, Paxcompiler is the fastest, most stable Pascal script parser, I introduced the Delphi Web script is to use it as an interpreter, and currently does not support Win64, according to the author said at the end of this year will support Win64.

7, KBMMW is currently the only remobjects with the Delphi multi-layered solution, than remobjects compact, cheap, but the function is never lost to remobjects. I later introduced the use of KBMMW to achieve a variety of multi-tier applications.

8, Teechart Pro in the Delphi graphics display is the only choice, although from Delphi 3 with the Delphi bundle release, but the bundle is the standard version, a lot of functions are not all, to display a variety of brilliant statistics, analysis functions, or to use the Professional version (hehe, The leaders like this one). The latest Teechart Pro already supports Firemonkey (compatibility is a bit of a problem) and you can put gorgeous graphics on your PC on your iphone.

9, starting from the Delphi 1, Delphi each version will have a reporting tool, but every time the report tool comes with quite a force, almost no one to use, so there are a few very good third-party reporting tools, such as Reportbuilder,fastreport, Because the Delphi Xe2 later began bundling Fastreport Standard Edition, at the same time the price of reportbuilder high outrageous, and fastreport really very good, suggest reporting tools or fastreport.

10, Delphi should still be a very strong Windows platform development tools, so often used to write Windows services, although Delphi itself support winservice development, but the function is to develop, to develop professional winservice, Or to use svcom, this can be like a normal program debugging service programs, while supporting the interface and services in the same program, debugging, configuration, installation is very convenient.

11, these years with the development of web technology, a variety of JS frame more and more, and Delphi background, basically all need to use JSON format, Delphi XE began to support JSON, but personally think the syntax is complex, difficult to understand, fortunately there is open source Super Object Toolkit, very intuitive and simple, is also very stable on the server side.
