Expand your projects to the .NET platform without discarding your existing native Delphi / Win32 code. Hydra is a plugin framework that allows you to ease into .NET and write modules in managed code for your existing Delphi applications. With RemObjects Hydra, your old Delphi system can be expanded using the latest .NET language of your choice, allowing you to grow your application and maintain your legacy code at the same time. If you already moved to .NET, RemObjects Hydra also provides allows you to modularize your application for easier upgrades, updates and expansion.

Hydra 3.0 builds on the tradition of RemObjects’ Hydra framework for Delphi to bridge the gap between the worlds of unmanaged Delphi code and the new Microsoft .NET platform.

Many Delphi developers consider migrating to the .NET platform, either to make use of its advanced development capabilities or to leverage new technologies such as the Windows Presentation Foundation or LINQ. At the same time, they are hesitant to leave behind the existing investment in their extensive Delphi code base.

Hydra 3.0 enables you to keep your investment in your existing Delphi/Win32 code base, while at the same time opening your applications to managed plug-ins. This allows new development to happen in .NET, for example using C# or Oxygene/Prism, or any other .NET language.

At the same time, the existing code can be kept and maintained in Delphi/Win32, and both parts can contribute to what appears to the end user as a single, unified application.

This makes it possible to employ new and emerging .NET technologies within your existing Delphi/Win32 based frame. For example, you might decide to implement fancy diagrams using the hardware-accelerated Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) introduced in .NET 3.0, or to use technologies such as LINQ to access and manage data.

Hydra is also helpful in migrating applications to .NET altogether, in a step-by-step fashion. Developers can start by modularizing their existing Win32 code base, and extend it with .NET code or port selective modules over to .NET, where it makes most sense (for example those modules that still see most active development and would benefit most from using new .NET based development technologies).

Over time, developers can elect to port and replace the remaining modules (and even the host application) at their own pace. They can keep working on the project in mixed-mode, or migrate to a fully managed solution.

Expand your projects to the .NET platform without discarding your existing native Delphi / Win32 code.
