Delphi to C# Tool available

Dan Fernandez blogs about a new tool to convert Delphi code to C#. Now there is no excuse for you Delphi applications developers out there not to investigate the .Net platform.

(and we quote)

“Delphi2CS is an assistant tool that converts Delphi code to C#.  Delphi2CS creates a new project, converts each file from the original project(.dpr) into the new project(.csproj), and generates a report detailing what was done. After your project is converted, Delphi2CS inserts comments into your C# code alerting you to statement that will need to be changed.”

Here's the direct link to the tool: http://www.netcoole.com/delphi2cs.htm
