What Types of Delphi Components and Tools Are on Torry's Delphi Pages?

Updated

Torry's Delphi Pages (torry.net) is a long-running resource hub for Delphi developers, offering thousands of components, code samples, and tools. According to the site's own summary, it covers common and data-aware components, security and encryption modules, database tools for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and other servers, plus installation, help-authoring, documentation, and project management tools. Most components are updated regularly, and the site states that roughly 10–20 products are refreshed every week, with versions usable in Delphi 12.

Main Categories of Components and Tools

Based on the site's section listing, the content is organized into these groups:

  • Common components — general-purpose VCL/UI building blocks.
  • Data-aware components — controls that bind directly to datasets.
  • Security and encryption modules — for protecting data and application logic.
  • Installation tools — packaging and setup utilities.
  • Help-writers — tools for producing application help files.
  • Documentation tools — for generating and managing docs.
  • Project management tools — for organizing development work.
  • Database tools — supporting MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and other servers.
  • Kylix section — components for the legacy Kylix environment.
  • .NET section — enhanced and data-aware components for .NET.

Database and Development Utilities

The homepage highlights a database development product that lets you design, explore, and maintain databases, build compound SQL query statements, manage database user rights, and manipulate data. This sits alongside the broader database tools category covering multiple server backends.

New Delphi Apps Section

A dedicated "New Delphi apps" section lists applications and utilities written in Delphi, giving visitors a quick overview of each. Developers can get an app listed in two ways:

  • Free — basic information only.
  • Paid — an extended record with description and images, via a small one-time fee (details on the Advertisement page).

Discounts and Job Portal

  • Discounts page — order products, components, or utilities from vendors such as EMS Solutions, Soft Service Company, ALDYN Software, TRichView, Devart, HiBase, and TMS at an instant 10–20% discount. The site also mentions advertisement price cuts of up to 75%.
  • Job portal — for posting or finding Delphi/IT jobs, with ad duration selectable and described as affordable. PayPal appears as a payment platform on the site.

How to Stay Updated

Torry's runs a monthly newsletter with Delphi-world news; you can subscribe via the box on the right side of the homepage, and past issues are collected on the Articles page. The "Last 30 days updates" section shows recent additions, which is the fastest way to see what has changed.

Practical Notes

  • The site is in English and has operated for many years, so some listings may reference older Delphi versions — check compatibility (the site notes Delphi 12 support for many components) before downloading.
  • Pricing for individual components is set by their vendors; the site's own discount and advertising prices are stated on its Discounts and Advertisement pages rather than in a single catalog.
  • For a quick start, browse by category (data-aware, database, security, etc.) or check the "Last 30 days updates" list to find actively maintained tools.
