Most likely you can just create a Visual Studio prject, add your source files, and then just do a build.

If do use a 3rd party library, then you will need to create a version of the library that's compatible with Visual Studio. Consult your library documentation.

Thanks, but I can add .cpp and .h, also I have .dfm files
Current CBuilder project contains:
1) .cpp
2) .h
3) .res (only one file)
4) .dfm

Can I add all above to VS?

You are using Delphi? The .dfm file is a Delphi forms file.

Visual Studio does not support Delphi. You may need to convert your Delphi forms to C# (there are converters available onine for that) or you may need to rewrite your Delphi forms using Windows Forms and go from there.

The .res will be for CBuiler only. You would let Visual Studio create its own .res file.

Thaks, I have DELPHI forms (.dfm), also .cpp and .h file, on top of all these files, only one .res file, the resource file is prettymuch CBuilder file.

I can use .cpp and .h as it is, only forms .dfm files need to convert to VS environment, any idea what is the online tool which ports .dfm forms to windows forms

I hesitate to recommend tools for obvious reasons. However, if you Google "convert delphi to windows" ou will find a ton of possibilities.
