Saturday, June 09, 2007 I posted the following in the Killink CSV support forum but decided it might be helpful if posted here to:
Starting with Killink CSV v1.2 add cell values are formatted as text. This is a change from previous versions which used a general format similar to the one found in Excel.
The problem with the general format is that certain values are displayed in a format different then the format used in the actual file. For example, using the general format the value 01970 is displayed as 1970. Notice the leading zero is removed. With a text format the value 01970 is displayed as 01970. Changing to the text format means you will see the value as it is found in the file, which in my opinion is a good thing.
This leads me to the question, do you want the ability to change the format of cells?
I see some advantages to this. For example, by allowing formatting you could easily convert dates from a Month Day Year format to Year Month Day. Is this something Killink CSV users would find useful? posted by Kirby | June 9 10:06 AM | comments (0)
Earlier this week CodeGear released Update 1 for Delphi 2007. I run Delphi 2007 on my laptop in a VMware virtual machine with XP as the guest OS. Update 1 installed without a problem. It took longer than expected, about 45 minutes, but the wait was worth the update.
There are many fixes and improvements in Update 1 but the one I noticed right away was the improvements to the online help. In March I complained that many Delphi routines were not indexed in the online help. Update 1 fixes this problem which means I no longer need to refer back to BDS 2006 help.
Other Delphi news this week...CodeGear as published the Delphi Roadmap. Highlander is still scheduled for release later this year. Highlander will combine Delphi.NET, Delphi Win32, and C++ Builder into the 2007 RAD Studio, and .NET 2.0 support be provided.
Most interesting to me, however, is the release of Tiburon, which is planned for release during the first half of 2008. This release will provide Unicode support throughout. This is huge for me since I need to provide Unicode support in my native Windows based application. posted by Kirby | June 9 09:22 AM | comments (1)
