Delphi Knowledge Base is a unique collection of Delphi tips and articles where Delphi programmers can find ideas, solutions and share their experience. Everyone of us occasionally experience what it is when you can not find the right way of solving the problem and how much time it takes. But have you ever thought that maybe thousands of people already had this kind of problem and solved it successfully?

Gnostice PDFtoolkit is a comprehensive and versatile PDF component suite for Delphiв„ў and C++BuilderВ®. PDFtoolkit VCL components come with hundreds of functions and properties that put immense power in the hands of the developer. PDFtoolkit hides the complexity of the PDF format and allows developers to easily create applications that can edit, enhance, secure, merge, split, view, digitally sign, and print PDF documents and process PDF forms. PDFtoolkit can extract text, export to images, and also add digital signatures. PDFtoolkit does not require PDF software such as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe PDF Reader or GhostScript.

When CodeSite was first introduced, it immediately changed the way developers locate problems in their code. In subsequent releases, CodeSite was extended beyond the developer's workstation to become a full-featured application logging system. Now, CodeSite 5.0 takes application logging and debugging to a new level by focusing on developer productivity, usability, logging capabilities, and deployment. CodeSite 5.0 supports the latest development frameworks and integrated development environments including Embarcadero RAD Studio XE2. CodeSite 5.0 introduces a redesigned message transport format, a flexible new log file format, and even more ways of logging important information from your application. For example, CS5 includes new TraceMethod functionality, profiling timers, PNG image support, and much more. In addition, CodeSite messages can now be transported and saved in a log file in compressed format, which reduces the size of the message on disk and also obfuscates the message data the log file.

paxInterpreter allows to execute intermediate paxCompiler byte-code. New runner is interchangeable with paxCompiler TPaxProgram class without any restrictions, i.e. you can use it with all pax components (TPaxCompilerDebugger, TPaxCompilerExplorer, TPaxEval), the same import routines allows you to import host-defined members. paxInterpreter supports the same scripting languages: Pascal, Basic, jаvascript. You can use generic types, anonymous functions, lambda expressions, operator overloading etc. You have possibility to use script-defined classes at host side via interfaces and virtual methods, bind dfm files, use RTTI of script-defined types, use compiled script units. And more... Current version of paxInterpreter can be used with Windows 32/64 bit. paxInterpreter will available for all platforms supported by Delphi XE (Mac OS, iOS, Android) in the next releases. Native code generators will be added to paxCompiler as well.

Provides the complete Rave visual report design tool as well as a copy of a single user Rave Server. Rave Standard also includes SQL DataViews (drivers) to enable direct connect or web oriented access to reports from Microsoft ODBC, Microsoft SQL Server, Apollo, Advantage, DBXpress, Access & DBIsam databases. Includes all of the Standard version plus the DLLs required to interface the reporting system into an application. The interface provided by the DLLs will enable Visual Basic & Microsoft Visual C++ Programmers to integrate the powerful Rave reporting system into their application thereby greatly simplifying the job of providing database information in useable form to their users. Significant savings are made both at the level of original report development and later at the point of report maintenance. Programmer documentation included.

DIHtmlParser is an advanced HTML parsing and processing suite for Delphi (Embarcadero, CodeGear, Borland). DIHtmlParser reads, extracts information from, and writes HTML, XHTML, and XML.

DITidy is an embedded HTML parser and pretty printer for Delphi (Embarcadero / CodeGear / Borland). It is build on the libtidy library but requires no DLLs or other external files whatsoever. All code is compiled right into the application's executable.

DIXml is an embedded XML, XSLT, and EXSLT processing library for Delphi (Embarcadero / CodeGear / Borland). It is build on the libxml2, libxslt and libexslt libraries. However, DIXml requires no DLLs or any other external files whatsoever. All required code is compiled completely into the application's executable. DIXml is the most feature-complete XML and XSLT solution for Delphi.

DIContainers is a collection of more than 100 different container classes for Borland / CodeGear Delphi.

Four different container structures are available:

Hash containers
Doubly-linked lists
N-ary trees
Vector containers

DIFileFinder is collection of Delphi components (Embarcadero / CodeGear, Borland) to search the file system for files and or folders matching (or not matching!) particular attributes and / or name patterns. Pattern syntax includes standard wildcards as well as full Perl compatible regular expressions. DIFileFinder supports inclusion as well as exclusion filters.
