Development Tools (Cross Ref > Tool Basics)

By Mike Prestwood

C# versus Delphi Prism: A side by side comparison between C# and Delphi Prism.

Tool Basics

Developer environment basics such as common file extensions, common keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Development Tools

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

Primary development tool(s) used to develop and debug code.

C#:

Microsoft Visual C# and the full version of Microsoft Visual Studio.Net are the current primary tools. CodeGear does have C#Builder but it's not a primary tool currently and development on the tool has slowed in recent years.

More Info / Comment

Delphi Prism:

Delphi.Net first shipped as a compiler only with Delphi 7. Delphi 8 is a .Net dedicated solution (no Win32) but was not clearly better than VS.Net so more developers moved to VS.Net and bypassed Delphi 8. Delphi for .Net shipped with Delphi 2005, 2006, and 2007 but languished because of a lack of development and VS.Net clearly implemented more .Net CLS features than Delphi for .Net. Delphi Prism (Oxygene) strives to keep pace and in some cases out pace C# and VB.Net using the Object Pascal language.
