序
Delphi出到8時，我曾安裝過。當時第一感覺是失望，因為熟悉的vcl視覺不見了；再一個感覺是陌生，因為delphi改動了它的代碼，我們再要寫東西就得遵循MS的.net命名空間做事。更重要的是，我對使用delphi做b/s開發沒有信心。好不爽了一陣子後，我轉向了java平台。
但後來，我看到asp.net真的非常好，而且delphi也可以實現它，這讓我有種想回見老友的衝動。但當時沒時間學，所以還不太懂。我對IntraWeb和asp.net兩種實現都很有興趣，很想試試。在後來，c# builder1.0的試用讓我對borland多少有了點好感，但還是覺得它是跟屁蟲，已經沒有ms抗衡的力量了。這讓我想起了加菲貓的一句話，如果打不過你的敵人，最好的辦法就是加入他們。
今天，我對delphi有了另一種態度。不再苛刻地要求它就是最好最快的，而是希望自己在b/s也能用得上delphi，並覺得還好用，這就足夠了。至於它外觀和空間的變化，在delphi8後，我已開始接受，畢竟delphi不走.net就沒什麼路可走了。
當我意外地得到borland寄來的delphi2005試用版時，我就想得到了一款正在流行的遊戲一樣，非常想試玩一下。可是，borland的註冊太沒有“中國特色”了，害得我跑到網上弄了個註冊機。不做D版用戶還不太習慣。
（一）Hello World.
Delphi2005是個集成環境，包括了delphi、c#，好像還可以使用vb.net，但這不是常規菜單裡的內容。我感覺borland對此款軟件的命名有問題，應該叫borland.net2005才對，不然用delphi開發c#，聽起來有點搞笑。
先來用delphi寫個Hello World吧。在2005裡，開發delphi有三種不同的途徑，自然應用環境也不同。分別是：
1 VCLForms application for .NET
2 WindowsForms Application for .NET
3 VCLForms Application for Win32.
下面是三個方式下的Hello World.
1 VCLForms Application for .NET
單元代碼：
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
Edit1: TEdit;
PRocedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
edit1.Text :='Hello World.';
end;
end.
窗體代碼：
object Form1: TForm1
Left = 0
Top = 0
Width = 281
Height = 138
Caption = 'Form1'
Color = clBtnFace
Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
Font.Color = clWindowText
Font.Height = -11
Font.Name = 'Tahoma'
Font.Style = []
OldCreateOrder = False
PixelsPerInch = 96
TextHeight = 13
object Button1: TButton
Left = 88
Top = 56
Width = 75
Height = 25
Caption = 'Button1'
TabOrder = 0
OnClick = Button1Click
end
object Edit1: TEdit
Left = 8
Top = 8
Width = 249
Height = 21
TabOrder = 1
end
end
這看起來，和從前的win32開發沒有什麼不同。單元和窗體分開，分別作處理和持久化工作。而在2中這兩個工作合併在一個pas文件裡了。
2 WindowsForms Application for .NET
unit WinForm;
interface
uses
System.Drawing, System.Collections, System.ComponentModel,
System.Windows.Forms, System.Data;
type
TWinForm = class(System.Windows.Forms.Form)

procedure TWinForm.Dispose(Disposing: Boolean);

end;
procedure TWinForm.Button1_Click(sender: System.Object; e: System.EventArgs);
begin
TextBox1.Text:='Hello World!';
end;
end.
3 VCLForms Application for Win32.
它的代碼和1完全一樣。
最後是用c#寫的helloworld.它只有.net一種方式，因為它誕生在.net時代。

/// </summary>
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox1;
private System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;
public WinForm()
{
//

//
InitializeComponent();
//

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
if (components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
#region Windows Form Designer generated code
