Hi folks, I've got this "old" programme to translate from pascal to c#. I really don't feel like rewriting the whole thing, especially since I didn't write the original (badly commented) programme. Does anyone know of a pascal to c# converter / translator. I tried to manually translate the thinghy, but pascal is sequential, and c# object, so it is a bit of a pain. Rem

if you're going from pascal to c#, then I presume you don't actually need to use oop, you can just translate to c# coding in non oop, functional style. Is that right?

Try rebooting (it is the lounge, ya know) Depending on the complexing, converting is probably a bad idea, except to "reverse-engineer" and verifying functionality of the new C# program. If you don't know the original well enough to rewrite yourself, then how easy will it be to confirm that the conversion holds no surprises?

Hooligan: yes, but without any comments in the programme it is a lot of guessing. The code is not very clean. JOK: you're right. I'm ever so sorry. Would you be so kind as to point me the right topic please?

JOK: the programme ML VISU WEIDMULLER is based on an early version of DELPHI. I agree on "automised converting = a lot of rubbish to clean up afterwards" but in this particular case I'd rather clean up than rewrite.

Managed to get rid of it. Thanx Jok and Hooligan 50 points each (don't know how much of a carobit T-shirt that is though) ;-)
