RAD Studio 2007 - List of Fixes to Delphi.NET in December Update

By: Chris Pattinson

Abstract: List of 157 fixes (40 from Quality Central) for RAD Studio 2007, Delphi.NET personality in the December Update

QC# Project Area
Delphi.Net IDE\HTML\ASP\Designer
Description: Steps:
When using "composite controls" in the designer the Control does not render correct (it shows as a small square thus being cropped). Once in the design mode, of the control is moved, it will paint correctly, however; toggling to aspx and back to design will again mispaint the control. Open attached project
Click on design tab.
Expected (see attached bmp):
Two textBoxes and a button
Actual:
small little box (composite)
Move the control to the right.
Notice the "actual" control renders

QC# Project Area
Delphi.Net Debugger\Evaluator
Description: Steps:
Format specifiers have no effect in the evaluator. Set a breakpoint on the line marked #1 and run.

Evaluate the following expression.

IntegerVar,h

See the following result.

42

The value expected was 2A or $2A.


program Test;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

var
IntegerVar: Integer;

begin
IntegerVar := 42;
WriteLn(IntegerVar); // #1
end.

QC# Project Area
Delphi.Net Compiler\Language\Overloading
Description: Steps:
In .NET 2.0 the CLR introduced new overloaded methods to System.String.Split. One new overload takes a string array which is ambiguous with the char array version. Compile the following against .NET 2.0.40607:

procedure OverloadSplitTest(S: System.String);
var
splits: array of string;
begin
splits := S.Split([',','.']);
end;

It will now fail with an ambiguous overload error.

Delphi.Net IDE\HTML\ASP
Description: Steps:
Hard-coded string in source (see comment from Takeshi Arisawa for specifics).


Original bug description follows:
----------

One Filelist-Entry is not translated
"ASP.NET Files" should be
"ASP.NET-Dateien"		 1. Click on DATEI - ÖFFNEN
2. open the Dateiliste
3. Scroll to ASP.NET Files

QC# Project Area
Delphi.Net Database\dbExpress Metadata
Description: Steps:
#6 - For SqlConnection.GetTableNames the tablescope property is not
being respected for either dbxmss30.dll when you include
tsSysTable in addition to tsTable.

For MsSql you are calling sp_table_rowset which only accepts 1 table type, and not a set of table types. If you specify just tsSysTable then it works.

QC# Project Area
Delphi.Net ECO\IDE Integration
Description: Steps:
please change the layout of the "Select UML Packages for the ECO Space" dialog for localization. "Cancel" button does not fit into the dialog after we translate.
------------
"Cancel" button in ECO's Select Packages wizard is slightly truncated.		 - Open a new ECO WinForm;
- Go to EcoSpace Designer and click a grey folder icon in the lower left corner;
//"Select UML Packages for the ECO Space" dialog opens;
// See the attached screenshot.

39104 Delphi.Net ECO\Persistence Layer
Description: Steps:
[QC Short Description]
ECO crashes when selecting data conditionally from SQL 2005 when the number or rows exceeds certain amount.

[QC Description]
Attached is the test project I created. Please correct the connection string in order to connect to your own SQL server.
The EcoSpace is setup to use GUID as the keys; and the only ECO class is named "Class_1" with only one boolean attribute "Active". The winform contains 3 buttons, the "+ 10" would create and add 10 rows to the DB. the "All" would bind the datagrid to the expression "Class_1.allInstances" and the button "Active" would bind the datagrid to the expression "Class_1.allInstances->select(Active)"

1. setup SQL server and generate the schema
2. run the program and add 10 rows
3. check the "All" and "Active" buttons work properly
4. press 2 more times of the add buttons to add 20 more rows
5. check again the "All" and "Active" buttons work
6. close and restart the program
7. the "All" button works but the "Active" button would crash the program with exception "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."

Reset the EcoSpace to use AutoInc as keys and repeat the test would result in exception: "Error executing SQL: SELECT Class_1_ALIAS.ECO_ID, Class_1_ALIAS.ECO_TYPE, Class_1_ALIAS.Active_COL FROM Class_1 Class_1_ALIAS WHERE Class_1_ALIAS.ECO_ID IN (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )"

P.S. my config:
Windows XP SP2 with all updates, BDS 2006 Update 1 with all hotfixes, MS SQL 2005 Express

Description: Steps:
[QC Short Description]
Dock Tabs appear at wrong position

[QC Description]
If for instance in the delivered Default Layout the Object Inspector is unpinned, it's caption appears as a vertical tab on the left of the structure view. Saving this layout, switching to another one and switching back makes the tab appears to the right of the structure view. Reselecting the current layout brings the tab back where it belongs.

(jpg attached)		 1. Create ASP .NET App
2. On Page_Load function in Default.pas, write following
Membership.ValidateUser(
// exp: ValidateUuser has two parameters, username and password, so expect to have tooltip for "username" after "(" is entered

Delphi.Net Documentation
Description: Steps:
The API signature information, such as method signatures, is missing in a lot of the documentation. For instance, the topic "Borland.Data.AdoDbxClientProvider.TAdoDbxDataAdapter.DeleteCommand" doesn't have a description of the method. 1. Go to topic "Borland.Data.AdoDbxClientProvider.TAdoDbxDataAdapter.DeleteCommand" at ms-help://borland.bds5/delphivclwin32/Borland_Data_AdoDbxClientProvider_TAdoDbxDataAdapter_DeleteCommand.html. Note there is no line with the method signature.
2. By contrast, look at the topic "TCustomActionCombo.DragDrop Method" at ms-help://borland.bds5/delphivclwin32/ActnCtrls_TCustomActionCombo_DragDrop@TObject@Integer@Integer.html. There are lines describing the method both in C++ and Delphi.

Description: Steps:
When creating a WebForm app and a model package at the same time, the initialization of the EcoSpaceUnit fails with a designer error

 1) File | New | Other | Eco | Eco Delphi.Net Project Wizard
2) Select the preset, Webform application and set the checkbox ON for "In separate assembly. click OK
//result:
EcoSpaceUnit opens in the designer with this error:
An error occurred while loading the document. Fix the error, and then try loading the document again. The error message follows:
Could not find type 'EcoSpaceUnit.PersistenceMapperSharer'. Please make sure that the assembly that contains this type is referenced. If this type is a part of your development project, make sure that the project has been successfully built. The variable 'PersistenceMapperSharer1' is either undeclared or was never assigned.
3) In Project Manager, double-click PersistenceMapperProvider.pas to open it
4) Click on the Design tab
//result:
Similar Designer errors
// comment from Jonas:
The project compiles without problems. if you close the project and reopen it, the designer works just fine.

If you create the project with the model in the same project as the rest (uncheck "In Separate assembly"), the same ecospace opens up just fine the first time.

The exception that actually occurs in the IDE is the following:

===
A first chance exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerException' occurred in System.Design.dll

Additional information: The variable 'PersistenceMapperSharer1' is either undeclared or was never assigned.

Description: Steps:
Delphi.Net and Win32: Stub implementation: don't loose parameter's modifiers.

[Highlander Update]		 1. Original code (e.g. for Win32):
Interface1 = interface
procedure Proc1 (const name: string; Var param1 : Integer; out param2 : Integer);
end;
Class1 = class (TInterfacedObject, Interface1)
end;
2. Now for Class1 generated Stub Implementation. Results:
Class1 = class (TInterfacedObject, Interface1)
procedure Proc1( name : String ; param1 : Integer; param2 : Integer);
end;
So, all parameters' modifiers (const, var, out) are lost and the code is not compilable.

Delphi.Net Modeling
Description: Steps:
Delphi Win32 and .Net: add parameters with var/out/const modifier to global procedure/function using "Add/Remove Parameters for Operation" dialog both to interface and implementation sections. Now only in interface sections parameters with modifiers are partially set.
Adding parameters without modifier happens ok.
Adding paramerters with modifier to procedure/function within a class happens ok.

[Highlander Update]		 1. Source code:
unit Namespace1;
interface
procedure p;
implementation
procedure p;
begin
end;
end.
2. case a. Now select p in Model View and try to change parameters from Object Inspector using "Add/Remove Parameters for Operation" dialog. Add one parameter and set any modifier var/out/const for it - parameter is added to both parts, but modifier is present only in interface part:
unit Namespace1;
interface
procedure p(out param0 : Integer);
implementation
procedure p( param0 : Integer ); // out is lost
begin
end;
end.

2. case b. Using the same dialog as in case a, try to add 2 parameters and modifier set only for first one (it's important that it should be a parameter after parameter with modifier). Result: exception dialog (see attachement).
Resulting code:
unit Namespace1;
interface
procedure p(out param0 : Integer ; param1 : Integer);
implementation
procedure p( param0 : Integer ); // out and other parameters are lost

Delphi.Net Database\DBExpress
Description: Steps:
Putting a TSqlConnection on a VCL.Net form automatically pulls in the unit DBXpress. This is a virtually empty unit, it only contains a uses clause or two. the problem is that it is deprecated, so the compiler will issue a warning everytime it is used.

Holger pointed it out in the first place :)


the reason it is pulled in is because of:

procedure TSQLConnectionSelectionEditor.RequiresUnits(Proc: TGetStrProc);
begin
Proc('DBXpress');
end;

in <tp>\app\dotnetlib\db\Borland.Vcl.Design.DbxCtrlsReg.pas

description of the RequiresUnit:
Should call Proc with all the units that are needed to be used when using this class. The form designer automatically ensures the unit the class was declared in and all its ancestor's units are used in the user's program when they use this component. Sometimes, however, an event will use a type in one of its parameters that is not in its unit nor any of its ancestor's units. If this is the case a selection editor should be registerd that implements RequiresUnits and it should call Proc for each unit that declare the types needed by its events		 new VCL.Net app
drop TSqlConnection on the form
compile

exp: compiles wihtout warnings
act: [DCC Warning] Unit1.pas(16): W1006 Unit 'Borland.Vcl.DBXpress' is deprecated

QC# Project Area
Delphi.Net Compiler\Language\Parameterized Types
Description: Steps:
Generic constraint checking fails spuriously for instantiation of a descendant of the constraint, using another type parameter in declaration of descendant (see example code)

More complicated generic solutions need this flexibility to reduce redundant dependent types when declaring descendants, since .NET doesn't have a typedef-in-template equivalent like C++.		 This program doesn't compile:

Error: E2515 Type parameter 'U' is not compatible with type 'TBaseAlpha<TConcrete<T>.T>'

---8<---
{$apptype console}

type
TBaseAlpha<T> = class
private
F: T;
public
property P: T read F write F;
end;

TBase<T; U: TBaseAlpha<T>> = class
public
F: U;
procedure M(x: T);
end;

TConcreteAlpha<T> = class(TBaseAlpha<T>)
end;

TConcrete<T> = class(TBase<T, TConcreteAlpha<T>>)
end;

procedure TBase<T;U>.M(x: T);
begin
F.P := x;
end;

begin
x := TConcrete<Integer>.Create;
x.F := TConcreteAlpha<Integer>.Create;
x.M(42);
Writeln(x.F.P);
end.

For comparison, here's the same program in C#:

---8<---

class TBaseAlpha<T>
{
T F;
public T P { get { return F; } set { F = value; } }
}

{
public U F;
public void M(T x)

3. Create another project (Package2) in the same folder.
4. Repeate item 2. for project Package2.

Class2 is not created.

AD : SCI asks VFSProject (for 'Package2') to create file with name 'Namespace1.pas' which already exists (in project 'Package1').


Now Class 2 is created and code is Ok.
But when project Package1 is opened, it can be noted that Class 2 is appeared.

[QC Description]
When class completion is invoked on a class having a property with a qualified type name (one with at least one dot), the corresponding field is created for each invocation.

This is as mainly seen in .NET where qualified types are common, but also reproducable in Win32.

I actually stumbled across it using ECO where each ECO form has an EcoSpace property of type Eco.Handles.DefaultEcoSpace. Thus each invoked class completion adds another field for that property.

51423 Delphi.Net Compiler\Language\Parameterized Types
Description: Steps:
[QC Short Description]
Methods with different constraints will not always compile

[QC Description]
Depending on which constraints are placed on methods of a class, the code of one of the methods will or will not compile.

This won't compile:

type
Tester = class
function AreEqual<T: IEquatable<T>>(List: IList<T>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Boolean;
function Compare<Z: IComparable<Z>>(List: IList<Z>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
end;

function Tester.AreEqual<T>(List: IList<T>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Boolean;
begin
Result := List[Index1].Equals(List[Index2]);
end;

function Tester.Compare<Z>(List: IList<Z>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
begin
Result := List[Index1].CompareTo(List[Index2]);
end;

I get the error "undeclared identifier: 'CompareTo'". But the next code will compile, and 'CompareTo' is not undeclared anymore:

type
Tester = class
function AreEqual<T: IComparable<T>>(List: IList<T>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Boolean;
function Compare<Z: IComparable<Z>>(List: IList<Z>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
end;

function Tester.AreEqual<T>(List: IList<T>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Boolean;
begin
Result := List[Index1].CompareTo(List[Index2]) = 0;
end;

function Tester.Compare<Z>(List: IList<Z>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
begin
Result := List[Index1].CompareTo(List[Index2]);
end;

Note that the following will also compile, so is it perhaps that I am doing something wrong?

type
Tester2 = class
function AreEqual<T: IEquatable<T>>(Item1, Item2: T): Boolean;
function Compare<Z: IComparable<Z>>(Item1, Item2: Z): Integer;
end;

function Tester2.AreEqual<T>(Item1, Item2: T): Boolean;
begin
Result := Item1.Equals(Item2);
end;

function Tester2.Compare<Z>(Item1, Item2: Z): Integer;
begin
Result := Item1.CompareTo(Item2);
end;

Hmmm... This also compiles, even with different constraints:

function Tester.Compare<Z>(List: IList<Z>;
Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;
var
Element: Z;
begin
Element := List[Index1];
Result := Element.CompareTo(List[Index2]);
end;

So how come the compiler can't recognize List[Index1] as implementing IComparable, but it can recognize Element doing that? Actually, even the cast IComparable(List[Index1]) was rejected. Note, if both methods have the same constraint, this seems to be unimportant.

Delphi.Net IDE\Object Inspector
Description: Steps:
ObjectInspector throws nullreference exceptions.

The problem is a timing issue between the obejctinspector and the design surface. when the collection editor is closed, the designsurface regains focus, and this will cause the designsurface to resync the OI. THis will dispose all the existing instances of InteropProperty. When the original property tries to apply the value from the property editor, it will find that the internal field "property" has been cleared.

Suggested fix (in propInspInterop.cs, line 1500)

DesignerTransaction trans = property.BeginTransaction();
try
{
Object oldValue = property.PropertyValue;
Object newValue = property.UITypeEditor.EditValue(this, this, property.PropertyValue);

{
property.PropertyValue = newValue;
if (subProperties != null)
subProperties.Clear();
CheckRefresh();
}
}
finally
{

DesignerTransaction trans = property.BeginTransaction();
try
{
// keep a local copy of the actual property if the interopproperty
// is disposed while the editor is open
ObjectProperty tempProp = property;
Object oldValue = tempProp.PropertyValue;
Object newValue = tempProp.UITypeEditor.EditValue(this, this, oldValue);

I installed RAD Studio Pro SKU via network install and registered product. I descided to upgade it to RAD Studio Architect SKU so re-invoked Setup.exe and selected Upgrade option then entered Architect key and proceeded installation. There're so many problems.
1) In Feature list page, required disk space is shown in negative number (see Cap4.png).
Results in 2)NO UPGRADE TO Architect SKU, Aboutbox/Spalsh screen still say Professional SKU and also NO ECO main menu (see Cap6.png), 3) click data Explore tab produced object reference is not set to instance error (see Cap7.png), re-click tab opend data Explore page but 4) NO(lost) Ado.NET conections (see Cap8.png).
Attached step by step screen shots, see Cap1 through Cap8.png		 - install RAD Studio Pro SKU (3AKP-STADEA-GKB5BF-????) via network install (download Setup.exe from http://installers.codegear.com/release/radstudio/11.0.2804.9245/ into local drive and invoke Setup.exe)
- start IDE and register product
- Terminate IDE then reinvoke Setup.exe
- select Upgrade option, enter Architect key (3ADN-DRD8EA-FFG5AG-????), proceed installation
// Note: you'll see negative required disk space in feature list page
- Launch IDE and examine properly upgraded to Architect SKU
// Note: no Eco menu, still Professional SKU, missed Ado.NET Connctions in data Explore

It is impossible to compile Delphi project with included namespace

[dpr support]

[vi]Investigation note:
This same happens of course in namespaces 2nd and more levels created in an ordinar namespace.
After class adding to a namespace a pas file with 2 Unit1 is created, though unit statement contains only one Unit1.
Then dpr file contains only reference to this incorrect named pas file.
Workaround: rename pas file from Project Manager to remove extra Unit1. After it the code is compiled ok.

[Highlander Update]		 1. Create Delphi .NET Console Application and switch on Modelling support
2. In the ModelView create included namespace Namespace1 using Project## namespace node (node with icon "{}")
3. Add class to the Namespace1.
4. Try to compile sources - you will receive error:

1) In the text editor in the ProjectXX.dpr file you will see the line with duplicated Unit1! - this is error
"uses ... Project##.Namespace1.Unit1.Unit1 in 'Project##.Namespace1.Unit1.Unit1.pas';"
2) After navigation to the compile error you will see Unit file with duplicated Unit1 part in the file name:
Project##Namespace1.Unit1.Unit1 - this is error in filename
But the source of this file contains single Unit1 - "unit Project##.Namespace1.Unit1;" - it is right

The namespace of 3rd level contains duplicated "Unit1" word too!

Class Completion Fails with Generics on Right Side of = Sign

[QC Description]
My experience has been that ANY < after the equal sign in a class definition will cause class completion to not work. And not just in the class you are trying to complete! You get the error message on the first < in your code (on the right hand side of an equal sign).

So, I have to code class definitions until they will compile with only missing externals, then go through all my class defininitions and comment out the generics on the right side of the equal sign (which causes Error Insight to complain about each of those lines), then do class completion of each of the classes (which now works because the < characters are now in
comments), and finally go back and restore all the commented out generics on the right side of the equal sign! Now it will compile, and I just have to add the code in the body of each method. If you want to define ANOTHER class, you have to go back and comment out all the generics stuff on the right hand sides in order to do class completion on the new class.

I thought it might be "easier" to just type the procedure/function headers
myself in the implementation section, but with generics, the class name before the method name can be a lot to type each time!

Am I missing something in using generics? Having to follow this procedure to use generics in the editor REALLY sucks...

-------------------------------

1. Create a connection to the sample EMPLOYEE database.
2. Create a new Delhpi for .Net package.
3. Add a unit, and in the unit, add the an empty class
4. Add the following code to the class as a stored procedure for Blackfish



class function TSprocDemo.GetSpecificEmployee(aConnection: DBConnection; aEMPNO: integer): DBDataReader;
var
TempCommand: DbCommand;
TempParameter: DbParameter;
begin
TempCommand := aConnection.CreateCommand;
TempCommand.CommandText := 'Select * From EMPLOYEE WHERE EMP_NO = ?';

TempParameter := TempCommand.CreateParameter;
TempParameter.DbType := DbType.Int32;
TempParameter.Direction := ParameterDirection.Input;
TempParameter.Value := aEmpNO;

TempCommand.Parameters.Add(TempParameter);

Result := TEmpCommand.ExecuteReader
end;

5. Register it with the database.....

CREATE METHOD GetSpecificEmployee AS 'SprocDemo::uSprocDemo.TSprocDemo.GetSpecificEmployee'


(Adjust the assembly name and unit name as needed)


6. Open an SQL Window and run it with

CALL GETSPECIFICEMPLOYEE(2)

This should work.

7. Create new VCL applicaction.
8. Drop connection, hook up to the connection used above.
9. Drop a TSQLDataset
10. Set CommandType to StoredProcedure, and the CommandText to "GETSPECIFICEMPLOYEE"
11. Open params property, not that the parameters are correct.

CRS destroys directory structure in asp.net application

[QC Description]
When you try to add a custom control that is in a subdirectory, the entire directory structure gets destroyed and the project file becomes corrupted.

Same problem exists in Borland Studio 2006 too.

The same problem occurs with normal webpages.
How in the heck are we to create a site with different authentication levels on different directories if the IDE keeps removing any and all form of directory structure...
QC Entry 52503
 1) Create a new New ASP.NET application. 2) Create a directory structure like this: projectdir |----- customctrls | |--------- control1 | |--------- control2 Put some pre-created custom control's in control1 and control2 directories. They can be empty, it's just the .ascx file and the .pas file that's really needed to show the problem. 3). In project manager rightclick the project, and select "add", then browse for the custom control in the subdirectory control1. 4). Notice now that the control is under the root directory of the project in project manager, the files have been moved and the entire structure is destroyed. Repeat step 3 several times, and the project file is irreparable corrupted and CRS crashes. Recommended Fix: Rewrite the Add functionality so that it leaves the directory structure intact as is. The rest of the IDE can handle things fine if the controls are in a subdirectory, because: Workaround: Manually edit the project files. It's a hell of a job to find out, but it works fine once you know what to put where..

Parameter Type Error when using VB.net ByRef events

[QC Description]
Case: VB.net Components with events that have ByRef parameters.

When the event is double clicked, the ide generates the procedure with Out parameters instead of Var . The compiler then complains that there is a mismatch. To make the app compile, the procedure parameters need to be changed to var .


This would not be a big deal to fix in the code but since it is in the designer generated area, changes get overwritten as we work with other controls. Also, the object inspector does not show these events.
QC Entry 51621
 See sample VBControl with an event "onCustomTextChange" that has ByRef parameters. Install this .net component from the ide. Then create a new asp.net application. Insert the component to the Default.aspx. Then from the events tab of the object inspector, dbl click on the "onCustomTextChange" event. This should generate the erroneous procedure. definition.

See attached vb.net sample asp.net control VS2005 project and the Highlander project using the control.

A few notes from Nick Hodges:

The attached project has a compiled version of the resulting assembly in the

\VBControl\bin\release

directory. You can simply install that assembly, which will install the VBLabelControl. Dropping the control and then creating an event handler for onCustomTextChange event shows the bad parameters.

"meta:resourcekey" attribute...designtime/runtime issues

[QC Description]
I manually added the "meta:resourcekey" attribute (for implicit localization... as is done in VS w/ "Generate Local Resouces") to my page and all the controls in my "Default.aspx" file. I also added a "Default.aspx.resx" file to my "App_LocalResources" folder and defined the appropriate entries for a translated button caption. Under the debugger I ran "Default.aspx" and had to click on continue to the System.ArgumentException, "culture name 'aspx' is not supported.". After clicking on the "Continue" button 6 times for this same exception message, it finally got past it and IT WORKED!

In the Delphi IDE, however I can't open the design surface. As long as the "meta:resourcekey" is a part of my page directive, I can ONLY open the aspx markup. I don't get a "Design" or a tab to edit the .pas. If I remove the "meta:resourcekey" attribute from my page directive, I can open the design surface, but every control with the "meta:resourcekey" attribute has an error message "Error Creating Control - xxx, Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

So the use of the "meta:resourcekey" in Delphi makes the runtime experience w/ all the debug messages annoying. And it makes the designtime experience virtually impossible.
QC Entry 53217
 1. Add the "meta:resourcekey" attribute to any control in an aspx file. 2. Close the aspx file and try to open it in design mode. 3. Add the "meta:resourcekey" attribute to the page directive in an aspx file. 4. Close the aspx file and try to open it in design mode. 5. Try to run the web application w/ those attributes. Note: See demo in attachments: Open the designer for Default.aspx for an example of controls not rendering Adding meta:resourceKey="Button1 to the markup and switching to the designer results in "error creating control - object reference not set to an instance of an object" if you attempt to open webform1.aspx the designer tab is not displayed, this is because of the meta:resourcekey="PageResource1"attribute on the page tag

Multiple exceptions from debugger if Cassini isn't closed

[QC Description]
When running an ASP.NET project under Cassini, the IDE doesn't close Cassini when the program terminates. If the program is then modified and run, the debugger throws multiple exceptions of type System.UnauthorizedAccessException, one for each assembly used by the project.

Clicking the "Continue" button for each of the notifications will let the project run correctly. However, many such clicks are required and the user has no way of knowing whether there is a real problem.

See "Steps" and "Workaround" for more information.
QC Entry 21440
 1. Open an ASP.NET project and set to to use Cassini as the web server. 2. In the "ASP.NET" area of the Project Options dialog, make sure Cassini is set to run when the project starts (not opened). 3. Run the project. 4. Close the browser window to terminate the program. Notice that Cassini is still running. 5. Modify the project (add or change a line of code). 6. Press the Run button to compile run the project. Do NOT compile the project independently without running it. The debugger breaks with the following exception (the assembly name will change): Debugger Exception Notification --------------------------- Project CassiniWebServer.exe raised exception class System.UnauthorizedAccessException with message 'Access to the path "wcieat89.dll" is denied.'. A similar exception is raised for every assembly used by the project. This error doesn't reproduce 100% of the time, but still happens quite often.

53711 Delphi.Net ECO\IDE Integration
Description: Steps:
[QC Short Description]
ECO uneccessarily loaded at startup of Win32/C++ Builder only personality

[QC Description]
As it seems the ECO package is still loaded in the Win32 and C*+ Builder single personality mode.
If ECO is not used by the IDE this shouldn't be loaded for Win32 and C++ Builder only mode.

Not doing this could reduce startup time a little bit.
QC Entry 53711
 1. start IDE (single personality mode: Win32 or C++ Builder) 2. watch the ECO stuff being loaded (if not seen on the splash screen use process explorer or similar to look for loaded ECO stuff)
