tool to convert code from Delphi to C#

[mkamoski]

Is there any tool to convert code from Delphi to C#?

I am tyring the program "Convert Delphi To C#" and it seems broken, and BTW I found it here...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/delphi2csharp/


I am trying the program "DelphiToCS" and it seems to want a ".drpoj" or a ".dpr" file and Lazarus is only giving me ".lpr" files so that is a bust too, and BTW I found that too here...

(FWIW, I am a new contractor on a project converting a large Delphi app to C#, it is about 1/2 way done, and so I just have to do it.)

So do you have any hints or suggestions how to do this conversion?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Shouldn't you ask in C# forum? If the other way around or Delphi to Lazarus, it might fit here.

Aside from that, if you don't have the skill to brush away the difference between Lazarus and Delphi, I doubt it will be easy to deal with the fallout of the converter.

There are specialized services for source 2 source conversion. For a reason.

LPR's are nearly the same as dprs btw (one or two FPC specific directives). The different name is for sake of file associations.

There is no way to export a Lazarus project as Delphi, but the differences are mostly trivial. Keep in mind that most source 2 source projects are only half automated at best, specially the free ones. You really need to know what you are doing, it is not a "convert" one button press conversion.
