.Net Core Framework(CoreFx) Library

The Library consist of namespaces which contains Delphi/Pascal class wrappers of the .NET Core Framework API that are tightly integrated with the .Net Core Host Library. This namespace enables the Delphi/Pascal developers to accomplish a range of common programming tasks, including tasks such as string management, data collection, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, network communications, file access and many more. In addition to these common tasks, the library also includes classes that support a variety of specialized development scenarios. It also contains classes that provide access to system functionality.

Namespaces

The following table represents the classification of the Delphi Core Framework Class Library Namespaces:

Note: Each of these namespaces contains 4 Delphi units:
  • Constant Unit: This Delphi unit contains the fullnames of the types in the .net core framework assemblies.
  • Interface Unit: This Delphi unit contains the types and members of the types in the .net core framework assemblies which is represented as interfaces.
  • Class Unit: This Delphi unit contains the types and members of the types in the .net core framework assemblies represented as classes. These classes implements the interfaces defined in the Interface Unit.
  • Enums Unit: This Delphi unit contains the enumeration types defined in the .net core framework assemblies.
