"Chrome is RemObjects' Next Generation Object Pascal language for the .NET and Mono Platforms that combines the elegance of Pascal with the power and flexibility of the Common Language Runtime. Chrome adds useful design elements from other languages such as C#, Java and Eiffel as well as its own language innovations and can be leveraged to write fully managed native .NET applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework, the Compact Framework or the Mono and Portable.NET platforms. It integrates directly into Microsoft Visual Studio, providing you the best possible RAD development experience."

It's great to see new options to help and make mobile development available to a whole new group of developers. I haven't touched Pascal since my university days. Are there any Windows Mobile / Pascal fans out there?

I compiled this exemple with command line chrome compiler, not in Visual Studio !
Actually is not possible to create in Visual Studio, because the plugin do not have "ApplicationSmartDevice" profile for design ...

But, the Chrome command line compiler is very powerful

Yeah, I love Delphi, too.

Oh no.... We're surrounded by Delphi guys. :worried:

I've never used Delphi, but I've heard a lot of good comments regarding it. Is it based on Pascal?

[jfd]

Yes, Pascal Object ...

For example software writen in Delphi see my signature :wink:

I'm familiar with Delphi, I've jsut never used it. I 've supported and helped rollout many Delphi applications, and I use a couple of them every day. You Delphi guys are an extremely loyal bunch.

So Delphi is just Object Pascal eh? Maybe I should take a look at playing with it some day.

Delphi is Pascal Objet and Visual Component Library (VCL)
:wink:

I grew up coding Pascal and C when I was a kid.

IIRC, Anders Hejlsberg was one of the brains behind the Turbo Pascal to Delphi product migration at Borland. You can see some of those Delphi concepts when you look at C# and the BCL.

Plus, it very handy that you can easily use the Borland Database Engine [BDE] to make database apps.
