delphi - How to recompile a specific unit from the VCL?

Question

I want to apply a fix from QC to a Delphi 2009 unit (DBClient as it happens). I know I need to copy the unit to another directory and make the change to the copy. How do I then get Delphi to compile that unit and use it in favour of the DCU that already exists?

Answer 1

If you don't want to modify the original .Pas file, I do this by copy the .Pas file into my application folder, then choose built project, it will create new dcu file in my application folder, which will be used instead of the original one.
