Replication
Yet Another Programming Blog
– I must say, I am still pretty exited by the extended RTTI in Delphi 2010. It makes life so much easier in many circumstances. “Cloning” (I call it replication) is one of those. Say hello to TReplicator<T> (in DeHL.Replication). It can take any type and create an exact copy ...

Here you go — DeHL 0.8
Yet Another Programming Blog
– This is going to be a short one. After months of no releases, here it is: DeHL 0.8 (see changelog for the list of changes on this release). As I mentioned previously, this release will only work on Delphi 2010, since the number of changes required to support serialization was quite big. I must ...

Class constructors and Generics
Yet Another Programming Blog
– The new great addition to the Delphi language in Delphi 2010 is the possibility to specify a class constructor and a class destructor to your class/record.

DeHL 0.6 available
Yet Another Programming Blog
– Yes I know I have skipped 0.5. The reality is that 0.5 was due a long time ago, but I did not have enough free time on my hands to complete the unit testing for all new features added. I always try to add as many unit tests as possible to test all possible scenarios. This release features a general ...
