Types

What is translated > Types

There are built-in types in Delphi and also new types can be defined in sections of a source file which begin with the type keyword.

The most simple form of a type definition is just to define another name for an existing type. E.g.:

WCHAR = WideChar;

var

  c : WCHAR;

In C# there is no true equivalent of such a type definition. Delphi2C# ignores such definitions and if an identifier is found which is the name of a type Delphi2C# takes and outputs that name. From the three lines of code above just remains:

char w;

Other types that can be defined are:

Records, Classes and Interfaces

Arrays

Enumerated types

Ranges

Sets
