Creating a .Net package in Delphi for .Net

1. Create a .net package (recommendation from dr Bob at http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin55.htm)
2. Add the units in the DotNet-folder of ICS e g Overbyte.Ics.Component.pas et c.
3. Add the Borland VCL (the units implicity uses them so they are needed as a reference)
4. Compile and the finished DLL-can be used by .Net environments like Visual Studio 2005.

Deployment

Additionally to the your own files and the ICS-dll you created you need to deploy these Delphi-files: Borland.Delphi.dll, Borland.Vcl.dll and Borland.VclRtl.dll.

Examples

Creating a socket in C#

Add a reference to the DLL that you created. Then add using and the code at proper places.

 using OverByte.Ics;
 using OverByte.Ics.Units;
 
 lSocket = new TWSocket(null);
 lSocket.Addr = "127.0.0.1";
 lSocket.Port = "10001";
 lSocket.LineMode = true;
 lSocket.OnSessionConnected += new TSessionConnected(lSocket_OnSessionConnected);
 lSocket.OnDataAvailable += new TDataAvailable(lSocket_OnDataAvailable);
 lSocket.Connect();
