It is *possible* to access .NET libraries from Win32 applications with
hybrid schemes (e.g. using Delphi and CrossTalk). However, I would only
recommend considering that approach if you had extensive Win32 code that you
wanted to reuse. Even then, I don't know anything that would work 'out of
the box' with BlackBox.

When we use .NET libraries we use a mixture of Gardens Point Component
Pascal (GPCP) and C#. The main reason for using C# is because that (or VB)
is the code that the visual form designer in Visual Studio generates for
you. It is also possible to write GUI code in GPCP (which we have also done
extensively) but it is usually easier to 'drag and drop' visual components
onto forms. We've included a number of simple examples with our Component
Pascal IDE (CPIDE) to show you how to use the .NET examples in a Component
Pascal program:
