Call a DotNet DLL from Delphi 7

[Alan Lupton]

I know I can call a Win32 DLL from DotNet by wrapping it, but how do I call
a DotNet DLL from my Delphi 7 application?

Perhaps it helps to wrap the assembly into an ActiveX component?

You cannot call DotNet DLL from my Delphi 7 directly.

But you can consume automatically generated Class Interface
or interface explicitly defined in the assembly.

See "Class Interface", "Packaging an Assembly for COM" etc.
in .NET help.

See http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin36.htm for an example of a C#
assembly (a DotNet DLL) which is used and called by a Delphi 7 client.

You can use the .Net Runtime Library for Delphi in http://dotnetruntimelibraryfordelphi.sourceforge.net/

The runtime library allows you to host and access .net library types.
