Format of VirtualTable data (.vtd) files

Curious. Would this file format be documented anywhere? I am interested in creating these binary files apart from TVirtualTable and then using them with TVirtualTable. I know there is an XML option, but I prefer the binary format for speed and size.

Thanks.

Hoping someone from Devart would be able to share this with us. I know I could buy the source version and reverse-engineer it, but where's the fun in that. Well, that would be a little fun I guess, but a spec would be better. Thanks.

Hello,

The vtd format is not documented anywhere. If you want to create vtd files on your own, you can buy VirtualTable source code at http://www.devart.com/vtable/ordering.html . VirtualTable source code is also included into all DAC components editions with source code. Having source code, you will be able to learn the structure of the vtd format.

XML is my friend, for now. I'll try your suggestion when time permits.

Thanks.
