Best way to convert C# to Delphi.NET code...
mamcx
BabelCode then manual tweak. However, that is costing time and a LOT of
things are repetitive work. I cut times doing global search&replaces but
still feel is not enough.
So, I'm considering build a tool for the future to have this. I know
about CodeDom but obviously is not enough... I first think in use
CodeDom to get the class hierachy then go for each file and extract with
regular expresions and convert line to line.
However, I have to build some parsers with MUTIS and wonder... if I get
a C# parser, and can rewrite the output with Delphi syntax?
I don't know how a parser work, but I imagine that proceduce event where
say "Start a if..then clause" then I inject here the code...

You can also try Reflector with the File Disassembler add-in. That'll do
a whole project at once.

I second Jim's suggestion - much easier than reinventing the wheel.
Furthermore, if you want to modify its behaviour you can download the source
code to the Delphi Decompiler that is used in Reflector from Peter
Sawatzki's site:

new code in Delphi to use this assembly.
A major selling point of dotnet is language interoperability.
Maybe you could gradually convert the C# later ( if your maintenance
programmers have higher Delphi than C# skillset )

Across languages yes, not across plataforms. I want/need have it in
Win32... also, I have converted almost 70% by now but still consider the
idea good (for later)...

It is used as a plugin to Lutz Roeder's Reflector for .NET:
http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/
The Delphi decompiler is installed by default when you install Reflector.
The way you use it is to open a .NET dll or exe file with Reflector. Then
using the Tools > Disassembler menu item, inspect the decompiled source code
in your choice of language. Reflector is supplied with plugins for C#,
Visual Basic, MC++, Delphi. There is also a plugin available for Chrome, and
I have done some work on a plugin for Component Pascal.

This plugin
http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/FileDisassembler.aspx
will enable you to save the results of the disassembler, and indeed
apply it to whole projects at once. I would just install it into
reflector and use it from there, rather than read the source code to
find out how it works though :-)

And can convert rigth the switch and other things that BabelCode not
convert rigth.
However the plugin write the code like in C# (ie: Put the code in the
interface and not in the implementation) but anyaway is best than expected
Thanks
