We are using Delphi 2006 for Win32 Development. I would to compile the application using the settings saved by BDS 2006 in the .bdsproj file. This is the same file I open when opening my app for development in BDS.
I do see that in the Delphi for .net actions, the file mask allows for opening of the .bdsproj file. Is this an oversight?
I picked Delphi 2006 as the compiler in the option screen thinking it may alter the file mask, to no avail.
Please advise.
Thank you for the help - so far, this is a pretty amazing product that should make my life much easier 🙂

Hi Adam
Since we use the command line compiler, the file you need to point to is the .dpr or .dpk. FinalBuilder will look for the existance of a bdsproj file if D2006 is selected as the compiler version, otherwise it looks for a .dof file (bdsproj is the new .dof).
