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

A:
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.

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!)

Quite right, I read the question as "VB to Delphi" not the other way around :o)

A:
If you consider moving to VB.NET (and .NET platform in general butnot VB6), these questions might give you some ideas/options:
- What tools exist to convert a Delphi 7 application to C# and the .Net framework?
- Is there an easy way, to Port a Win32 App in Delphi 2009 to .NET ?
- Migrating a Delphi 7 application to .NET
- Delphi to .NET + C#
- Delphi’s interoperability with .NET
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.

actually - if it's Delphi.NET and must be converted to VB.NET, then just use the .Net Reflector on the compiled code.
