Features Include:

• Choice and productivity with your all-in-one toolbox - CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 Architect Edition combines Delphi® for Win32, C++Builder®, Delphi for .NET 2.0 and ECO development technologies in one highly productive integrated environment. With rapid application development support for both native Windows and .NET applications on and for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista; you can choose the language and OS that best meet your needs. Develop Web, n-tier and database-driven applications on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista and deploy them on the Windows platform of your choice.
• Seamlessly develop Vista applications in a RAD environment - With seamless support for Windows Vista™ including VCL support for the Aero™ user interface, Vista Desktop™ and built-in support for Vista APIs you can radically speed time-to-market and decrease development and maintenance costs using the rapid visual development features and Visual Component Library (VCL). Recompile existing VCL based applications to instantly Vista enable older applications.
• Build visually eye-catching .NET applications with support for the .NET Framework 2.0 - Rapidly build web sites and desktop applications on the .NET Framework 2.0 (compatible with .NET Framework 3.0). CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 supports ASP.NET and VCL.NET within Delphi. New in Delphi for .NET are ASP.NET templates that provide pre-built templates to significantly accelerate your start-from-scratch velocity for building ASP.NET applications.
• Freely deploy your applications with the included Blackfish™ SQL embedded database - Blackfish SQL is a fully managed SQL-compliant highly portable, embedded database that can be deployed with your application. CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 Architect includes unlimited Blackfish SQL database deployment on systems with 1 CPU, up to 5 users / 20 connections, and support for databases up to 2GB. Additional deployment licenses can be purchased separately for situations where you need support for multiple CPUs, additional connections and increased database sizes.
• Build rich web-based business applications - VCL for the Web lets you quickly and visually build interactive and responsive dynamic data-driven corporate web applications that support AJAX techniques. VCL for the Web embeds the low-level web technologies into visual objects so you don't need to know HTML, JavaScript, CSS, or HTTP abstracting you from such details, so you can focus directly on code and user interface.
• Create a model and develop a database-driven application without touching a database with Enterprise Core Objects - ECO IV - ECO IV creates a transparent way for objects to persist in the database, with Object persistence, Object Relational mapping and object transaction all wrapped in a Model Driven Development (MDD) framework. New in ECO IV is support for both VCL.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 2.0, with additional new features such as EcoDataSource, aligning the OCL type system to .NET, plus numerous performance and usability enhancements. We now include full source code of the runtime framework.
• RAD for C++ - Boost performance and speed development with the latest updates and enhancements in C++Builder 2007 - You'll radically boost your performance with up to 5x faster in-IDE build performance - as fast or faster than command line builds. Improve application stability with new integrated C++ unit testing with built in support for DUnit. In addition, get the latest standards with improved conformance and compatibility to the ANSI C++, Dinkumware and Boost Library and we've updated our sockets library to the Indy 10 Internet Protocol Suite including client and server support for TCP, UDP, raw sockets, as well as over 100 higher level protocols such as SMTP, POP3, NNTP, HTTP, and many more.
• Streamline enterprise database connectivity with the new DBX 4 database architecture with support for the managed ADO.NET 2.0 data source - The new DBX 4 database architecture streamlines enterprise database connectivity and adds support for the most recent versions of SQL databases including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, IBM DB2, SQL Anywhere, Sybase and more. We've added support for the managed ADO.NET 2.0 data source, which enables interaction with CodeGear's Blackfish SQL embedded database. The new Unicode compatible DBX 4 architecture is the high performance, flexible, and expandable foundation that supports modern database development now and into the future. DBX 4 is a new VCL based RAD database infrastructure and simplifies application development and driver and extension development. It is also compatible with existing VCL dbExpress components and existing DBX 3 drivers, so there is no need to rework existing code to support the new and improved database infrastructure.
• Numerous enhancements and improvements take Delphi for Win32 to the next level - In addition to the new support for Vista and AJAX, all of the latest updates and myriad of improvements have been incorporated in Delphi for Win32. This includes updated versions of many of the popular third party products shipped with Delphi like TeeChart, Indy, and Rave Reports. Additional features and quality improvements make Delphi for Win32 even more reliable and robust.
• New build flexibility with MSBuild and custom build options to simplify build management - While managing and running the build process has always been a development challenge, and the difficulty usually increases in direct relation to the complexity of the project, MSBuild simplifies this process with an XML-based project file format that is simple to understand and easy to extend. The project file format enables developers to fully describe what items need to be built as well as how they need to be built with different platforms and configurations. In addition, the project file format enables developers to author re-usable build rules that can be factored into separate files so that builds can be performed consistently across different projects within their product and adds support for pre and post-build events.
