Is there any code conversion tool for converting Delphi to Visual Basic? Please advice. Thank you very much.

  • I seriously doubt it, most people went the other way. Do you want VB6 or VB.Net? – Binary Worrier Nov 18 '09 at 09:38
  • Can you provide more details - what version of Delphi is the original application written in and what version of Visual Basic are you targeting? – Adrian Nov 18 '09 at 09:46

    It is inspiring to see how all posters so far have managed to mostly resist the urge to ask why you would want to do that. – Caleb Hattingh Nov 18 '09 at 11:49

Not that I'm ware of. There are tools to convert Delphi to C# or Visual Basic to Delphi. But not the other way around. It's probably because Delphi has a lot more features then Visual Basic to make it a difficult transition.

You can do it by hand. But it'll take a while.

If you consider moving to VB.NET (and .NET platform in general butnot VB6), these questions might give you some ideas/options:

You can try migrating the application from Delphi (Win32) to Delphi.NET or Delphi Prism Once this step is complete you can consider migrating to VB.NET or C#

But it really depends on the technologies used by your original application (e.g. BDE, 3rd party components), level of interaction with WinApi and so on.

  • I must be missing something there Rob - I can see translators to go the other way, but nothing VB to Delphi on the linked page. (I was intrigued, sue me!) – robsoft Nov 18 '09 at 19:37
  • Quite right, I read the question as "VB to Delphi" not the other way around :o) – J__ Nov 19 '09 at 08:46
