I just stared on Saturday (C Builder XE to XE2). The biggest different
so far is libraries that are no longer valid in my project (VCL libraries).

Since I just have 2 really large apps in my reservation system, I am
rebuilding my projects slowly, one module at a time!

Shane

Well, I got everything ported and running under C Builder XE2!

The only problem is I need to replace EurekaLog as version 7 crashes C
Builder XE2 on my machine a LOT!

A bunch! But mostly related to 3rd-Party components.

My instance of XE2 has one VERY ANNOYING trait -- When I F12 from
source editing to form view it takes EFFING FOREVER! <grumble>

Are you running (or tried) DDevExtensions
(http://andy.jgknet.de/blog/ide-tools/ddevextensions/) ?

From the feature description:

Disable Package Cache (default: off)
The RAD Studio IDE caches the component packages and their palette
icons into the registry. This cache makes an IDE cold start slightly
faster on some computers but has the drawback that the packages must be
loaded later when the user opens a project or form. By disabling the
cache the IDE start isn’t harmed that much. Actually it could be even
faster than with an enabled package cache, depending on your hard disks
speed.


Cheers,
Nick

Thanks guys.

You've sufficiently scared me!

Makes me think I should maybe do a fresh install on a virtual machine
and migrate projects one by one.

Oh well. Progress sometimes hurts.

But that only kicks in once, right? Q is describing something that
happens *every* time F12 is pressed. I too am seeing this, even on
forms with only a mere handful of standard components, there's a
noticeable lag. Something went backwards in XE2.

I don't know.

That is one interpretation...

So what is the harm in trying it?

All I did was to raise a *possible* fix to a problem someone voiced. If
you/they are not willing to try the fix, that is your/their choice -
Nothing ventured, nothing gained :-D

Cheers,
Nick
