AppManifest for Delphi2006 released
Posted April 21st, 2009 by IssamI've released AppManifest for Delphi2006, even it's not difficult to add a new customisable manifest to Delphi2006 projects, but some folks see that AppManifest can make life easy in Delphi2006 too 
remember: to let AppManifest works well, don't use XpManifest and AppManifest in the same project.

AppManifest new Add-In for Delphi2009/2007
Posted April 13th, 2009 by IssamIn Delphi2007 and Delphi2009 it's a little bit difficult if you want to change the embedded manifest in the Delphi projects, let us say for example if you want to change the Vista UAC options to set the "requestedExecutionLevel" to "requireAdministrator", even there are some workarounds, but these workarounds have "side effects" and need extra work from developers, while in other development environments like Visual Studio this task is quite easy, and you can add manifests to projects like any other items, Now this new Delphi Add-In AppManifest will make this task easy in Delphi as well,

Delphi developer against Flu
Posted January 21st, 2009 by IssamAt last I can smell
it's wonderful feeling after a week of struggling with Flu, it was a rough "fight" but the Delphi Developer wins at last, and the cost:
- a lot of medicines -actually there are many empty medicine boxes on my table now- "TUSSI GRIP" is one of them and it did a great job, I recommend it.
- a lot of lemons, it really helps and I recommend it either.
- a lot of handkerchiefs ... yeah believe me it's a lot 
- one week delay on business; well that's not good. I have to work harder in the next days.

TDBGrid bdRightToLeft bug fixed
Posted December 22nd, 2008 by IssamI am still using Delphi2006 for my database projects, but two days ago I’ve started a small Database App in Delphi2009, and it was a shock when I discovered that there is an obvious bug in TDBGrid in Delphi2009, Delphi2009 Update1 and Delphi2007, this bug will be “visible” if you change the BiDiMode property of TDBGrid to bdRightToLeft.
