The referece still says (Mathematica 10.0.2 Win 7 64 Bit Home Premium)

?SolveDelayed

SolveDelayed is an option to NDSolve. SolveDelayed -> False causes the derivatives to be solved for symbolically at the beginning. SolveDelayed -> True causes the ODEs to be evaluated numerically and the derivatives solved for at each step.

let's use it

In[86]:= NDSolve[{2 x y'[x] + x^2 y''[x] + x^2 y[x] == 0, y'[0] == 0, 
  y[1] == 0}, y, {x, 0, 1}, Method -> {"Shooting"}, SolveDelayed -> True]

During evaluation of In[86]:= NDSolve::bvdae: Differential-algebraic equations must be given as initial value problems. >>

Out[86]= NDSolve[{x^2 y[x] + 2 x Derivative[1][y][x] + 
    x^2 (y^\[Prime]\[Prime])[x] == 0, Derivative[1][y][0] == 0, 
  y[1] == 0}, y, {x, 0, 1}, Method -> {"Shooting"}, 
 SolveDelayed -> True]

it's a linear ordinatry differential equation, what does the NDSolve::bvdae mean here? Does is mean SolveDelayed has died in NDSolve?

If the SolveDelayed is not specified, the NDSolve::bvdae does not show up and a numerical solution is generated.

SolveDelayed has been deprecated (it will continue working as before for backward compatibility). To treat the system as a DAE, instead of SolveDelayed -> True, one should use Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Residual"}. See also the documentation. However, if this option is set, then the NDSolve::bdae message is expected, since there is no DAE support for boundary value problems.

Thank you very much! First one gets

In[3]:= NDSolve[{D[x^2 D[y[x], x], x] == -x^2 (y[x])^(3/2), y'[0] == 0, y[1] == 0}, y , {x, 0, 1}, 
 Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Residual"}]

Out[3]= NDSolve[{2 x Derivative[1][y][x] + x^2 (y^\[Prime]\[Prime])[x] == -x^2 y[x]^(3/2), 
  Derivative[1][y][0] == 0, y[1] == 0}, y, {x, 0, 1}, 
 Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Residual"}]

but the initial problem can be used to shoot the boundary condition rather straightforward

Clear[sIV]
sIV = First[NDSolve[{D[x^2 D[y[x], x], x] == -x^2 (y[x])^(3/2), y'[0] == 0, y[0] == 1.2029}, y , {x, 0, 1}, 
    Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Residual"}]];
Print["y[1] = ", (y[x] /. sIV) /. x -> 1.];
Plot[y[x] /. sIV, {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> All]

y[1] = 1.00005

the plot is only interesting for the real p.o., but nevertheless here it is

This example from M. Trott, The Mathematica GuideBook for Numerics, ยง 1.11, (2006), p. 399 still works

SolveDelayed

so it seems at least partially a cosmetic problem (SolveDelayed in red).
