About BDSPROJ files

The .BDSPROJ file is an XML-based project file originally used by legacy Borland Developer Studio (now maintained by Embarcadero Technologies). It stores structural project settings, compiler directives, and relative file paths for C++Builder and Delphi applications. The main disadvantage of this format is its obsolescence; it requires an outdated IDE or an expensive modern software upgrade to execute natively. Furthermore, users often mistakenly believe the file contains actual source code, but it only contains metadata linking to external CPP or PAS files. Because it is a highly specific, proprietary configuration document, standard online converters fail to process it into usable media or executable files. Migrating the project technically requires importing it into a modern IDE to generate new .CBPROJ or DPROJ files. However, because the underlying data is stored as standard text, you do not need the original software to read its contents. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view the raw XML configuration text, and convert it to accessible text formats when possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your BDSPROJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted RC2, CHR and TPU files.
