Does this feature exist in this IDE. WIKI says that i can
Embarcadero Delphi, previously Borland Delphi
Something like
edit and continue in visual studio 2015
But i cant find how to turn this on. If i make any changes in breakpoint stop IDE asks to rebuild project.
Also i checked a lot of SO answers and tried to find something on NET.
How can i enable this? I use XE5, but soon it will be 10, so if feature doesnt exists in my version of IDE, please say when it was added.
It is so annoying to rebuild project every time i change one line of code.
Delphi has nothing like Visual Studio's Edit and Continue feature.

I have a big Delphi 2007 project, and the Delphi IDE is slow and unstable even I install DelphiSpeedUP, FixIDE Pack.
The IDE freezes for a few seconds when first loading the project (300K lines of code). The Type Library Editor is very inefficient when I want to add a new method/property because it has around 1000 APIs and it kinda freezes for ten seconds in the Type Library Editor.
But the Delphi Compiler is good and I am happy with that, just the IDE has many issues. The Visual Studio 2010/2012 is very good and stable.
Just wondering if it is possible to code in Delphi in the Visual Studio, a basic syntax highlighting, debugger is OK.
It is not possible.
Visual Studio not work with pascal lang.
You can use np++ for simple syntax highlighting and compile with command lines in DCC32.exe.
and the docs in here.
and for Debug use ollydb.
and I'll not suggest it.
and I think the likely pascal IDE to Delphi is Lazarus but it can't compile your Delphi source code directly.
and I'll not suggest it too.
I think use the Delphi with fix and speedup patches.
I have a project in Borland Delphi 7. When I open the .DPR project file in RAD STUDIO XE5 it prompts an error "Framework not registered: VCL" and project not open.
I want to know what this error means. Although project is compiling and running in Borland Delphi 7.If you Google this error then there is not a single page for this error. Please help me. Thanks.

With the introduction of FireMonkey, a project needs to know whether it is using VCL or FMX as its underlying framework. When you upgrade your D7 project to XE5, the migration is not inserting that reference into the new DPROJ.
Unfortunately, upgrading older projects to newer IDEs has always been a flawed process full of pproblems. The best option is to simply do not do it. Create a new project from scratch and add your existing source files to it as needed.
I'm quite new to Delphi and I'm helping a team setting up a build server which are using Rad Studio 2005.
They have just bought DevExpress VCL and wants to use these. I would rather not have the component installed on the build server, but instead having them as a part of the source code and making sure that the project is using that version.
How is that done in Delphi?
We compiled all of our 3rd-party stuff into a BPL, then put that .bpl and corresponding .dcp and .dpr/.bdsproje into source control, so it gets delivered to the build server. Works well. In retrospect, it should have been a series of BPLs, divided by vendor, so that we could upgrade individual components/libraries without having to run regression tests on everything else.
I just bought and installed Delphi XE and was hoping to compile my old D7 project there.
However, I hava a source file that "uses QForms" and that generates a "file not found: qforms.dcu" and I can find no relevant reference to what to do about that file googling around...
Any idea how to solve it?

QForms is from CLX, the Qt based cross-platform library that was introduced with Delphi 6/Kylix. So far as I know, CLX is no longer shipped with Delphi.
You need to do one of the following:
Stick with Delphi 7.
Port the code to VCL. This will tie you to the Windows platform.
Get Delphi XE2 and use FireMonkey since clearly at some point in time this code was intended to be cross-platform.
I want to build this project on windows from source code.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/
I have downloaded the source code. But I have no idea how to build it.
EDIT---------
Actually I downloaded the source codes. But, I don't know using which software I have to open/build the source.
For example, for .NET projects, I would use Visual Studio. I need to know which IDE is required for this project
If you mean the launcher, then the source can be found here. I was able to build 2.0 beta 5 from source. I got an error running it, but didn't investigate further.
I have to say, the source code for this project is pretty well hidden. A comment in this blog post suggests that the latest version requires Delphi XE. If you are using an earlier version, this could be the problem. Otherwise, you'll need to be more specific about what's going wrong.
