As blogs are supposed to be matter of fact style and without suspense: yes, you can use ECO Models that have been created with Visual Studio 2005/2008 in RAD Studio 2007 and vice versa. It even works if you target .NET 3.0/3.5 in Visual Studio 2008. You just have to add “System.Core.dll” from .NET 3.5 to your Delphi project that references the model and ECO will be able to pick up all the packages inside of the assembly.
What advantages does that bring me using models from VS in RAD Studio 2007? Personally, I prefer the VCL to Winforms quite a lot and this way one can write client applications in VCL.NET without having the drawback of not being able to use LinQ! Linq is being used in all my models by now and I simply cannot compile them in RAD Studio 2007 as Delphi for .NET has no LinQ support at this stage.
