I am porting a VB application in Delphi.
It has a very complex settings section, with more than 700 values to be
inserted in various forms.

In VB I made a centralized declaration of these fields - say an array of
field descriptors.
So every field has:
- a name ( to be shown in the form)
- a short name
- a type (string, numeric, date, ecc.)
- a range (min, max)
- a mandatory property
- a set of permitted characters (for string fields)
- an SQL type (for creating a table in DB)
- an SQL field name (for creating a table in DB)
and so on...

Then I associate every field (say TextBox) in the form with one of these
field descriptors, and a special set of routine let the form work fine,
magically!

I was wondering what to do with delphi about this subject.
Can anyone suggest me a suite of components (freeware or open source) or a
different approach to do this porting?
Thanks in advance
