HardQuery Report: ToolsAPI 5.0

This post describes about Borland.Studio.ToolsAPI.dll 5.0.

Borland.Studio.ToolsAPI.dll is an important reference assembly used by Code Beautifier Collection and other experts. Version 1–4 of it was built against .NET 1.1. And now, version 5 included in Delphi 2007 and C++Builder 2007 is against .NET 2.0.

In order to consume the interfaces defined in ToolsAPI 5.0, CBC should be compiled against .NET 2, too. However, I guess the source code can still be ported back to .NET 1.1 with modifications. Now I am evaluating the possibility.

Remember, even if the back port is possible, I insist Delphi 2007 and C++Builder 2007 be used. Support to older versions of BDS is stopped once 5.3.3 is released.

BTW, an experimental build of GExperts with DelForEx has been uploaded to CodeCentral now.
