Thanks for the suggestion.
I think a dll would be less effort but this could be another option.
Use to have an Experts Exchange account. I needed this to solve a
particular problem, once I had the solution I did not have much further
use for it and it lapsed.
I think it has a free trial period. I will consider this if the other
directions I have become dead ends.

You have the VCL controls for the Delphi app, I suppose (you said you
had the source)?
There is a question (with an acceptable solution) on Experts Exchange
here

*Embedding VCL (Win32) control on external C# application form*

I have two applications, one written in C# (Windows Forms) and the
other in Delphi (Win32). Is it possible to render a TPanel (or other
component) within the running Delphi application onto some container
control within the C# application? I've tried using the SetParent API
function, but this results in a OutOfMemory runtime exception in the
C# app. However, I am able to embed the entire Delphi app's main form
on the C# app, using SetParent, but I would like to only embed a
portion, TPanel/TFrame.
I recall that someone on this list uses Experts Exchange.

I tried using TurnSharp but this is really expecting a standard Delphi
project (dpr) file.
The code I needed to convert is a control (dpk) file. This is not a
selectable option.
I converted the demo project that uses this control and it claimed 93.8%.
I checked the generated code and the critical code for the
EllipticCurve was not present (In truth I did not expect it to be as
this is a control integrated into the IDE)
I would have to spend some time taking the control code and making it
a standard unit within a delphi project.
I would then have to do the same with all the other controls needed.
While this is do-able I have not coded in Delphi for quite a few years
and then the outcome may or may not provide a viable product.
I think this might take up to a week to do with an uncertain outcome.
At this stage I think the dll /COM is a more viable option.

Had you considered a Delphi to C# code converter?
There's one (TurnSharp
<https://www.turnsharp.com/delphi-to-csharp.aspx>) that supports .NET
4.0 Framework and money-back if not 90%+ (not a great metric, really),
with a trial version.

I have some cipher units written for Delphi 7.
