Sometimes the easiest of topics make for the hardest of movies. In this Delphi training movie we take a look at the various ways of passing parameters, I've probably not explained things as clearly as I could but I hope it is informative all the same.

Spreading of file formats PDF and PDF/A strongly increases during the last years, and this trend is stable. Since today the advantages of the file format for a safe and efficient exchange of electronic documents are universally recognized, PDF is established as a standard. Today at the document processing one must not renounce a platform covering retention of the representation quality and formatting of the original document, comfortable collaboration functions as well as independence from the original program with which the file was created.
New version of PDF Direct & Quick View 5
soft Xpansion takes into account the increasing significance of PDF format by the further development of new products. With PDF Direct & Quick View 5 the company publishes a new version of its developer library, which was firstly offered in 2002 to the implementing of PDF format in software applications.
With PDF Direct & QuickView 5, complicated developing projects can be realized in Visual C ++, .NET and in languages with COM support. Besides, the libraries allow a direct production and processing (PDF Direct) as well as announcement (PDF Quick View) of PDFs in software applications. This also concerns foreign, already created PDF files. The users of the application need therefore no additional programs to be able to produce, process, view and print PDF files. Both libraries offer a huge number of powerful options for a flexible implementing of PDF format.
Version 5 offers the following new functions and improvements:
The conceptual specific feature of PDF Direct & QuickView 5 lies in the modular construction of the library and in the adaptable price model linked with it: software developers can select PDF functions, which users of their application will need at their work with PDF files or to which they should have access. Cost-intense, unnecessary PDF functions should not be paid for.
Functional overview
Details about PDF Direct & QuickView 5 can be found in Internet on the product site in the area PDF Xpansion on http://www.soft-xpansion.com/.
Supported operating systems
PDF Direct and Quick View 5 can be used in applications, which run under the 32-or 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, XP (Home or Professional Edition), Server 2003 or 2000.
Price & availability
PDF Direct & QuickView 5 costs from €1.450,-.
The library is available from now on and is offered in several license models and component parcels, which allow an adaptation to the needs of the target group and the users of the respective purpose application. No other software components are required except for those, which are already installed with the operating system Windows.
The complete price list including a description of license models and component parcels can be downloaded on http://www.soft-xpansion.com/.

MySQL Workbench is available for download in two versions: an open source Community Edition and a (US) $99 commercial Standard Edition. Both are available now for Microsoft Windows, with future cross-platform support for Linux and Macintosh OS X under development.
The announcement was made this morning at the sixth annual MySQL Conference and Expo. With nearly 2,000 attendees, it is the world's largest community event for open source database developers, users, DBAs, vendors and corporate IT managers.
