A variety of application samples are delivered and installed with the product.

Opening the Samples

To open the directory of application samples that ship with the product, do either of the following:

• Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\n.n\Samples.

• Depending on your operating system, open the Samples folder as follows:
  • On the Windows 8 tiles screen, click the Search charm, enter "samples" in the Search field, and press Return. Then click the Samples folder in the results.

    Tip: Even easier, just type "samples" (or simply "sam") and press Return when the Windows 8 tiles window is displayed. (To display the tiles window, press the Windows key on the keyboard.)

  • On Windows 7, select Start | All Programs | Embarcadero RAD Studio | Samples.
  • On Windows XP, select Start | Programs | Embarcadero RAD Studio | Samples.

Updating Your Samples

Source code for the samples is checked into a Subversion repository available at https://radstudiodemos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/radstudiodemos/branches/.

To update your samples:

• From inside the IDE, open any sample, right-click the .exe file in the Project Manager, and select Subversion | Update | From Repository Root on the context menu.
• In Windows Explorer, if you have installed the Subversion client TortoiseSVN, right-click the Samples directory and select the Update command.
• From the SourceForge repository, download a folder by right-clicking the folder name and selecting the Save target as context menu command.
