Using Indy components with Delphi 7
First question: Should I update the Indy components (I'm using the ones which shipped with Delphi 7, Professional version). Second question: How can I get started in developing an application that will connect to an existing web service for the purpose of receiving som XML data? I need help in what components to use, property settings, and all the rest. I'm having a heck of a time finding detailed, straight forward information. Thanks Jim Sawyer DataWare

In my opinion, yes. Indy 9 is no longer being developed.

If it's a REST web service, then you could use IdHTTP get and parse the XML yourself.
Unfortunately, Delphi 7's SOAP support isn't the greatest, but you can upgrade the WSDL import and runtimes to Delphi 2007 levels, which is much better. Keep in mind that this updates the command line WSDL importer and not the one embedded in the IDE.

For better or for worse, I'm stuck with D7, mostly because many of the third party stuff I use doesn't exist for later Delphis, and I have a couple hundred clients in the field to support.
I think I'll take your advice and upgrade Indy, but does anyone know of a source of fairly elementary instruction for developint the capability for connecting to an existing web service, receive XML data, and communicate back and forth as necessary?

I hear you. I still have a couple of projects that are still being maintained in Delphi 7.

Bob Swart wrote a quick tutorial that is based on Delphi 7. Remember, you'll probably need the command line import upgrade, but it can't hurt to try the one that shipped with Delphi 7 first. You never know...

I think I'll I was under the impression that most of those components will compile reasonably well under d2007, but you must have all sources 9i'm not sure if quickreport was delivered with 2007). Anywhay, if you have all source its wurth a shot i guess.

There are several accepted methods to communicate via a web service, which is just XML data transmitted via HTTP/HTTPS. In order of complexity to implement, they are: SOAP, XML-RPC, and REST. It's important to know which one the web service implements. Other than SOAP, you should find that working with a web service isn't overly difficult. One thing you'll likely need is a XML parser. For parsing XML without external dependancies and in a way that you'll probably find easier than MSXML, you might consider two popular native VCL parsers. NativeXML and OmniXML. http://www.simdesign.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2089/ http://omnixml.com/ Personally, I use NativeXML, but I know that others have been happy with OmniXML as well. Both are free and open source. Post some more details about the web service itself and you'll probably get a few more hints from people here. -- Kevin Powick

Using Delphi 7 and Delphi 2010
I had a project in Delphi 7. I worked on it in Delphi 2010. When I try to open the .dpr again in Delphi 7, the IDE toolbar widens across both monitors, and Delphi 7 locks up. It appears that Delphi 2010 modifies the .dpr in a way that makes Delphi 7 unable to open it again. All my forms & units appear to open fine in D7 after D2010, except for the warnings on the ExplicitHeight and ExplicitWidth properties being missing... I can easily recreate the .dpr, but is this expected behavior? Thanks. Tom Field wrote: > I had a project in Delphi 7. > > I worked o...
DesignIDE package and porting Delphi 7 components to Delphi XE2
HI I am porting components from Delphi7 to Delphi XE2, and started run in problems regarding MaskProp.dcu, some of the components uses this, and is looking for TMaskProperty class. After a lot of browsing on the net i figured out that all these units is packaged in the designide.dcp. So i have the design time component in a package that requires the designide.dcp and then the runtime component package that reguires the designtime package for the component. In the runtime component package i get errors regarding the MaskProp.dcu and the TMaskProperty class. I dont know what to do from ...
Is it posible to configure Delphi XE3 IDE to use Delphi 7 compiler/debuger
Hi! Like many other developer out there I have several project which has been developed with older version of Delphi (Delphi 7). Since theese projects rely on some components which are not compatible with newer versions of Delphi (no newer versions available) I'm forced to do any maintnance on theese projects using Delphi 7. Another solution would be to find replacment components which would provide me with same capabilities and work with latest versions of Delphi. But this would probbably require compleete rewritings of my projects (lots and lots of work). So currently I'm using...
Delphi 7 to Delphi XE2
Hi, Still using that old workhorse, Delphi7, but am going to the conference in London hosted by Embarcadero on Delphi XE2. Although I would like to "move with the times" and am keen to get the UNICODE and 64-bit support offered by the latest IDEs, I confess to being more than a little scared about all the UNICODE/String/AnsiString and 32/64 bit issues I'm probably going to fall over.
