hi i never use delphi in my life, i program only in java :P. I need a good begining tutorial about, how to use, configure and prove your libraries.
Can anyone help me?
where i can find this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Probably a good place to start would be to load one of the example projects and verify that they work - that will get you through the basics of compiling and running a conduit-based application. Just remember to go to Run | Parameters in the Delphi environment and locate the Hotsync.exe application - since these projects are DLLs rather than standalone applications, you'll need that.
Once you're feeling a bit more experienced with running a conduit, and playing around with the debugger, you can try making changes to the project, such as changing what table the conduit is retrieving data from, and specifying your own set of fields. After testing with debugging that you've got your field definitions correct, and are getting correct data, you could use any standard book on Delphi programming to expand your conduit to actually do something with the data you're getting, such as saving to a local file, or even connecting to a database for resolution.
That's generally what I've done when starting new conduit projects - I simply copy one of the existing projects and start modifying it. I generally start by simply writing records out to a text file, and then when I'm sure I've got my field definitions correct, I start expanding the code to do whatever needs to be done with the data.
