Current source repository
VCL2FMXConverter v5.0 Vanguard
The complete Delphi source, forms, mapping packs, contracts, tests, samples, tools, and documentation needed to build, inspect, and extend the converter.
Before you begin: extract the ZIP to a normal working folder. Do not build or run the project from inside the compressed archive. Keep the original VCL project backed up and convert into a separate output folder.
v5.0 Field-Test Patch: real-world testing found several edge cases, now fixed and protected by new contracts. Current validation: 198 passing contracts, 0 failing.
