Do you want to use your Delphi as a DataSnap server? Please give some more information about your application (technology), and what you want to convert it into.

A DataSnap server is one option, you can write an ISAPI DLL, that's another. You can run either on an IIS server, so I suggest you investigate both options and decide from there. It depends on what you want to provide, how do you want your data to be accessible to others?

Mr.pritaeas sir i am waiting for your response

Member Avatar for pritaeas

how do you want your data to be accessible to others?

First answer this.

Member Avatar for Ali Musa

only to see others my data

Member Avatar for pritaeas

View data on a webpage, SOAP, REST...

Member Avatar for Ali Musa

yes exactly sir

Member Avatar for pritaeas

YOU have to make that choice, not me. Although I'd choose REST, which would be easy to implement using DataSnap.

Member Avatar for pritaeas

What version of Delphi are you using? I think you'll need at least Delphi 2009.

Edited by pritaeas
Member Avatar for Ali Musa

sir it is Delphi 2007 in my pc

Member Avatar for Ali Musa

have you any web address where to download delphi 2009 completely.

Member Avatar for pritaeas

Not sure if 2009 is still available, latest version is XE3.5 I think. You can buy it from Embarcadero.

In 2004, I used Delphi 7 when I developed an ISAPI application. I stayed away from the IntraWeb components and went with components from Developer's Express. I was very impressed with their level of customer service. My back end was SQL Server and the ISAPI was on an windows server machine running IIS. I would suggest that you possibly investigate that route.... going with DevExpress....

Here is a link to help out:
http://www.devexpress.com/Products/web.xml

They are still around, unlike so many other components vendors and have components supporting Delphi from version 7 up through XE2..... I have both... :-)

They are up to XE4... goodness I do not remember XE3 !... Here is a ink for info:

Have fun... IHTH...
