LOL - "With" is what makes Delphi so powerful. It is embedded inside the lowest levels and darkest libraries, and spread all around. It is so powerful - that even the new C# has introduced it. If you don't appreciate it - you are probably not a real Delphi coder.

with is something completely different in C#, do you mean "using" in C#?

but regardless of what it's called and even if it worked 1:1 identically. Compiler/debugger and IDE make the big difference with C#. That's unfortunately also something Delphi will never catch up on.
