Delphi Conversion Unicode Issues

Question

We have large commercial app that we want to convert from Delphi 6 to 2010. Approx 10 3rd party component sets, all with source code... I have heard warnings about Unicode with 2010 - Does anyone have experience and or suggestions?

Answer 1

There are many resources available that you can read and that you will assist in the migration from Delphi 6 to Delphi 2009/2010 (Unicode).

You can use these articles as a guide.

• Unicode Migration Statistics Tool (This utility will hopefully assist you in collecting useful statistics on how hard (or not) it would be to migrate your older applications to Unicode.)
• Delphi 2009 and Unicode
• Delphi 2009 strings explained by example
• Upgrading a major project to Delphi 2009
• Delphi and Unicode
