hosting c# forms and app in a delphi 7 win32 host

[Peted]

Hi

i realise this is an esoteric subject, but im hoping someone can help
me

im working with a legacy application that was originaly developed in
delphi 7, and inaddition to this the application has a few newer
modules (winforms c# dll's) loaded and running under the delphi host,
and there is some object data retrieval by the c# stuff from the main
delphi app.

The owners now want to replace and upgrade more delphi parts by more
c#, but comunication, loading and performance of the dotnet stuff is
slow and kludgy.

a rewrite of the application in dotnet from scratch wont be considered

so im hoping someone out there may have done something similar in the
past an can point me to or provide samples of the most efficient and
best performing way to have c# dotnet stuff hosted in such a way. I
want to re-write the way it is loaded and hosted now to make the
whole thing faster

any advice or examples or ideas appreciated
