Passing objects between C# and Delphi?

Endurance Man · 27-03-2008 01:55PM #1

I am researching the best way of passing objects between C# and Delphi.
Some software we developed has links to the ACT software package.
ACT have recently updated their SDK and messed up our ACT links ><.

Any advice on the best way of passing a simple object between C# and Delphi? We where thinking webservices?

Any help appreciated.

Never had to do it myself but you could try something like this:

Think we've decided to use SOAP and XML, most dynamic route. Im scared, its myself and another recent graduate trying to figure this out, blind leading the partially sighted ><.
I understand the concept behind SOAP and webservices, going to be a whole different story actually trying to implement it.

Well I can't really give you much advice there. I've done a lot of training towards the MCPD and that included a fair bit of webservices stuff - its painfully easy in VS2005. I've only used webservices once or twice in Delphi - and again its nothing too difficult.

The only problem you may have is that Delphi 7 is pretty old - so you may run into one or two minor issues as you go. Having said that in work we have interoped Delphi 7 against 3rd party web services and have not had any issues. Of course your mileage may vary.

Enjoy!
