Thank you.INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this paper is to provide Visual C++ programmers with a comparison between Delphi 5 Professional Version with Visual C++ 6 Professional Version, with an eye toward what a programmer needs and wants from his or her development tools in actual use.When one looks back at the history of Visual C++ and Delphi, one can get an appreciation for the radical differences between them. Visual C++ traces its roots back into Microsoft C/C++, back when MS was the underdog in the C++ market. Delphi traces its roots back into Borland’s Turbo Pascal, which is itself derived from the first Borland product ever, a Pascal compiler that revolutionized the world by virtue of it’s amazingly low price, and made the name Philippe Kahn a household name among programmers. Like Borland, MS originated out of a language product, Basic, but then, unlike Borland, soon moved on to operating systems, office productivity suites, and a host of other products. Borland achieved a good deal of market share in the desktop database market, and even owned the spreadsheet Quattro Pro back then, but a costly legal battle with Lotus over the spreadsheet interface, and the movement of client server databases into the desktop realm eventually eclipsed both of those mark ets. Both company’s development tools reflect these different histories. In each case, their top-selling language product is based on their very first language product. Visual Basic is descended from Basic, and Delphi is descended from Borland Pascal. Visual C++ competes against Visual Basic for attention and resources within Microsoft, and so has never been made RAD the way Visual Basic and Delphi are RAD. This is probably the biggest difference between Visual C++ and Delphi.One interesting difference between Visual C++ and Delphi is that since Borland at one time practically owned the desktop database market, Delphi comes completely equipped to create and handle Paradox and DBase tables through direct drivers in the included Borland Database Engine, rather than relying on ODBC. Everything you need to create desktop database applications is included in Delphi 5 Pro. Microsoft owns two desktop databases too, FoxPro and Access. As far as I can tell, Visual C++ 6 Pro has no included support for FoxPro and Access beyond
