1. What did you use to port the code from Win32 to .NET?

2. Do you use onlly one component palette and have only 1 application which
can compile to Win32 and to .NET?

3. How are you compiling this to Win32 and how to .NET?

4. What is the difference in exe file size when you compile to Win32
compared to file compiled for .NET?

5. When you compile to Win32, do you have to make modifications to the code
to get Win32 native exe which works on systems without .NET framework? Can
you compile the same project (after the changes you did to it now) to Win32
and to .NET without making any changes to the code? Is there a switch in the
compiler that makes it possible to compile the same application for Win32
and for .NET?

>From what I saw in the Delphi 2005 demo, they split the Delphi.NET and
Delphi for Win32 projects completely. You have to choose the project type
before creating the project. I presumed that, since you have to tell IDE
which project type you want, that you get 2 different component palettes,
and can compile the project only for the type you chose. Or how is this
solved?
