6 undeniable facts to choose conversion with Ispirer
-
Fact 1/6
Same functionality, new application
Migration does not require labor-intensive development of new functionality from scratch. Your application will be converted to a new technology while maintaining the original functionality
-
Fact 2/6
Architecture preserved or modified
Automated conversion implies preserving the initial architecture which is easier to maintain. The app architecture, can also be transformed, for example, from desktop to the web to improve accessibility and scalability
-
Fact 3/6
The speed of conversion
Migrating an application is much faster than creating a new one from scratch. Automated migration with Ispirer Toolkit minimizes manual effort and may speed up the delivery by 2-3 times
-
Fact 4/6
Legacy System Transformation
Migrating Delphi to modern architectures or platforms can upgrade your application, making it easier to maintain, update, and extend in the long term run
-
Fact 5/6
Performance and Scalability
Through conversion, you can optimize the application's architecture and infrastructure, improving scalability and performance without the need to rebuild everything
-
Fact 6/6
No need for documentation
To perform the conversion, we go by your source code. There is no need to have detailed documentation in place to start the conversion as is the case with development

CodeWays for automated app conversion
CodeWays is a tool for automated application conversion that translates code from one programming language to another automatically, while preserving the initial functionality of an app. Using an intelligent proprietary algorithm, the tool analyzes the syntax, semantics, mapping data types, control structures, function calls, and code structures that do not have equivalents in a target technology.
Based on the analysis, CodeWays applies all the relevant conversion rules from its knowledge base core and translates Delphi source code to C#.
It takes 5 min to start your application conversion journey!

Conversion Samples of Delphi to C# WinForms
Ispirer Toolkit analyzes all object dependencies during the conversion process and provides not only line-by-line conversion, but resolves type conversions as well. The software understands and transforms the necessary inheritance dependencies. It parses the entire source code, builds an internal tree with all the information about the objects, and uses it in the migration process.
Variables declaration conversion:
Delphi
- var CanClose: Boolean;
- CustNo: Double;
- DBPath: string;
- Key: Char;
- I: Integer;
- RSCON: TIniFile;
→ C# WinForms
- bool CanClose;
- double CustNo;
- string Dbpath;
- char Key;
- int I;
- IniFile RSCON = null; //class IniFile implemented in AdditionalClasses
.pas file structure conversion:
Delphi
- unit Splash;
- interface
- uses
- SysUtils, Windows, Messages, Classes, Graphics, Controls,
- Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls;
