Get ready to mark your calendars because the TMS Training Days are back, and this year, we're heading to the vibrant city of Lille, France, on September 26th and 27th. Set agains...

For some time now I have been wanting to evaluate how FlexCel .NET behaves in other platforms. Not just plain Mono running in a Linux server (that's boring, we have always supported that), but some more fun possibilities. That's why I decided ...

Some weeks ago, Microsoft released a new default theme and font for all Office applications, replacing the old Calibri. Yesterday, we updated FlexCel (VCL, .NET, and DLL), so you can now create a new file with those defaults too. I...

This isn't a particularly easy to write post. There are so many things to say, many good news, some bad ones, that it gets hard to decide where to start. So let's try to start from what you should already know from the title: FlexCel 5 for VCL an...

A little more than a month ago, we asked you about Lazarus supportAnd today we are delivering it. Experimental support (official support is coming once FPC gets anonymous methods in trunk), but usable and working fine. While the polls were 70% ...
