.NET converter (either C# or VB.NET)? I've inherited a bunch of Delphi code, never seen Pascal before and rather than learn it, I'd rather just try to use an automated converter, if available, and clean up the code after that. Can't seem to find this kind of tool anyway I search
View 3 RepliesI am using Delphi 7 to try to use a .DLL created by VB.net. When I run TDUMP.EXE on the .DLL, it reports no exported data available. The VB.Net .DLL uses "RaiseEvent" to return data.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've designed a Windows Service in Visual Basic 2005 that needs to call some functions from a DLL written in Delphi 5. If I try to add this DLL as a reference, I get this error:
"A reference to 'C:ProjectsServiceProMDPUpdateServiceMessageStubApplicationSPHost.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."
I assume that it is just not possible to add this DLL as a reference to my VB2005 project, since the DLL was written in an old version of Delphi, correct? This isn't a big deal, as I can just use the DllImport function from System.Runtime.InteropServices, but if it is possible, adding it as a reference would be preferred.
My other question is, how would you be able to call a function from the DLL using DllImport, if the function you are trying to call takes a Delphi record data type as a parameter (if this is possible)? If possible, would I need to pass each field in the record separately or would I be able to define a structure in my VB app that mirrors the record definition in the Delphi DLL and pass that? Or, would it be best if I just created another function in the Delphi DLL that took various string/integer/boolean/etc. parameters that I could call from VB that would then call the original function in Delphi? I tried searching the internet for this specific question, but I couldn't find anything that looked useful.

I've gotten a DLL from a supplier. Most functions I can call just fine, but some crash (System.ExecutionEngineException, doesn't even do with a try-catch...). The thing is that the ones that work are called with simply types, and the ones that crash have a type/class/structure in it.The documentation states how to call with "Visual Basic" without stating version. Here's how it looks..[code]I did figure out to use "Integer" in stead of "Long" and the strings needed some work but are fine now.Now... The "Type" doesn't exist in VB.NET so what should I do. Tried a class but that didn't work.I can call the DLL with "bad" data and get a good reply, eg "this and that is wrong with the input", but when I set that straight it crashes. I suspect that it's when it starts to write in the memory allocated by me and that does not match what the DLL expect.
BTW when I look at the class I made, I can see that - at least VS - lists the members in an alfabetical order. Is that how it's arranged in memory and could that be the problem if the order is different from the one expected by the DLL. I would epect that the total size was the same irrespective of order, so the problem would arise when I try to read the data and I would get junk.
I get to convert a Delphi application to VB.Net.My last project i had to convert a Java app to VB.Net.Anyway I have most of the application converted however there are a few items that i have been unable to find the .Net equivalent. Most are from the Delphi. Sysutils class.

I've got some functions I need to call that are in some DLL files that have been written in Delphi 5 in a VB.NET 2005 application. I'm able to use the DllImport function to access the functions just fine; however, I'm having an issue with the Delphi string data type and passing it to and from the .NET application.
[Code]...
It takes two string parameters and one double. I can call this function from VB.NET just fine, but it will error as soon as it tries to use one of the string variables (so in this case, when it passes them to another function) and I've found that the string values in Delphi are junk when they've been passed to .NET. I'm guessing that the string objects behave and/or are encoded differently between .NET & Delphi 5, and that I have to apply some sort of Marshaling to the function parameters in .NET, but I've tried all of the different types of marshaling and nothing has worked. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything about this issue on the internet.
Does anyone know how I can call this Delphi function from .NET and have it pass the string values in a manner so that they won't be corrupted when stored in Delphi?
I have a Delphi written DLL that exposes some interfaces to a vb.net application.
The interfaces inherit from IUnknown (but this could be changed if required), simplified example:
IWindow = interface(IUnknown)
['{E9A11D0B-8A05-4CBA-83FA-C5CC6818DF6E}']
function GetCaption(var Caption: PChar): HRESULT; stdcall;
end;
[Code]....
Now I want to transfer a collection of IWindow to vb.net, and in the vb.net application I want to be able to loop through it with a for in loop.
I read that it's possible using IEnumerable/IEnumerator but I don't quite understand how to implement them. Are there any good tutorials about this, specifically showing the declarations on both side? Example code would be great.
Please note that I prefer not create a com dll that should be registered and imported. Currently I export a function that enabled me to obtain an interface.
I have a Delphi program that communicates with a vb.net dll that I created. The vb.net dll communicates with a Fluke scope meter via an RS232 connection. I have created a program that communicates correctly via RS232, giving me the anticipated value. Though, when I package this up as a dll and access the dll from my Delphi program I always receive a value of "1", rather than the value I was expecting (most cases a value in and around 240).I know that my delphi program is definitely communicating correctly with the dll and that my dll is definitely communicating with the scope meter
Here is my vb.net code:
Public Interface IFlukeComm
Function GetReading(ByVal Command As String, ByVal PortNum As Integer) As String

This is the Delphi code I'm trying to convert to .net:
s1 := Copy ( s1 , 1,x - 1) + Copy(s1, x + 1,Length(s1));
I tried:
s1 = s1.Substring(x - 1, 1) + s1.Substring(s1.Length, x + 1)
But I get error's when the index is out of range. in Delphi it works fine.
Added one line to convert..
s2 := s2 + chr(3);

In Delphi when we needed to allow the system to finish painting an object or something like that we could add a processmessages that would then let the system finish what it was doing before going on with the code.This was always handy when we wanted to show a message like "Please wait"before the start of a lengthy process.So then. What is the equivalent way of doing this in VB.
View 1 RepliesI have generated a component in Delphi 2007 Code Gear and I need to migrate it to .NET to be used by VB.NET platform.I generated an ActiveX dll but I have been told that only the declaration of the class is visible in .NET.Actually the component I have generated is inherited by another component of which I have only the .dcu files. My new component is exactly similar as the parent one except from that I have overridden the constructor create.I wonder why the .NET, although it accepted the component, it did not provide the inherited properties, methods etc.

Delphi combines the two substrings, while .Net just concatenate them like a copy.

View 1 RepliesI have a button that i basically want to either show or hide it based on if a certain string has a value or not. I create the buttons in code so i was trying to used databindings with a converter but i can't seem to get the converter on the binding after the value changes. I'm not sure if I'm going after this correctly or not... Here is what i have for creating the button and the binding and the converter. "sFileLocation" is a string inside my class "QuestionsFile". This works for initialization but its just when the value of the string changes, this binding doesn't see the change and doesn't run the converter and all that for me...
Dim btn2 As New Button
Dim b2 As New Binding("sFileLocation")
b2.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay
[code]....
The thing I don't understand too is that the binding works fine if i just binding the property to the Button.Content. So the property is updating correctly when it gets changed, and the buttons content changes accordingly.
i wanted to know if there is any code converter around that can translate from the ruby language to vb.net.

I want it to be decoded when a button is pressed, because I cant use the KeyPress or KeyDown function because it will most likely be copy-pasted.
how would i do that, for instant the char A Will be converted from "W11" to "A".
Now i know there is a function called Convert, but i have no idea on how it works or if it even is proper for this task.
