<DIV>I just downloaded Delphi 2005 Architect trial and compared a simple Win32 app with the equivalent ASP.Net app. It seems that I can share business object code (as long as it doesn't use .Net or Win32 specific libraries), but not presentation/form code (which I expected).</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=584400800-01122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Sure it is possible. However, getting it to be the exact source might not be possible. For instance if you use the RECT function, it is declared in the Types unit for .NET. Also hInstance is in WinUtils in .NET.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=584400800-01122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There are other considerations as well but it is possible. I actually have a popup message notification component that works in both win32 and .NET with 2 changes for .NET. WinUtils and Types are included when compiled under .NET plus I added a function called PChar so that I could still use PChar typecasts in my drawing code without having to modify the parameter lists. Some functions parameters are different. Such as the DrawText API function, which instead of taking PChars in .NET, now takes strings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=584400800-01122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Also if you PostMessage and SendMessage with objects or pointers to text you will need to get cosy with marshalling (not a biggie once you do it a couple of times) and there are also VCL methods to help out. Although one had a bug in Delphi 8 and I haven't checked in D2005 yet. (Actually that just reminded me!).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Hi folks,</P>
<P>Does anyone know if it is possible to compile a Win32 app and a .Net app using the same Object Pascal source in Delphi 8 or Delphi 2005?</P>
<P>Cheers,</P>
