I haven’t written about Diamondback as much as I’d planned since others are doing such a good job of it. But one demo which I thought was neat was concurrently debugging Win32 and .NET apps.
the debugger is context-aware and will switch back and forth between Win32 and .NET modes as required. So you can create […]
NDataStore
I’m listening to Steve Shaughnessey talk about NDataStore, Borland’s .NET native DB server.

In addition to the features I mentioned yesterday, IB 7.5 introduces three new server maintenance functions accessible through simple UPDATE […]
Unit Testing in Diamondback at Monday General Session
Michael Swindell demoed unit testing in Diamondback at Monday morning’s general session. Very slick. There’s nothing added that you can’t do already with DUnit or NUnit, but with Diamondback it’s much, much easier. Write your class, then complete a couple of wizards to create a corresponding test project and test suite. The IDE generates […]
