There is already a library called csgl which lets you use opengl in C# or VB.NET or other .NET language. Another library is IMHO a bit unnecessary.

The library is a cool feature but not the point of the post - the post was that he was porting the NeHe lessons.

Just some FYI, I was/am one of the CsGL developers. This library is meant as the successor to CsGL. CsGL had a number of issues that have been corrected in this library. Firstly CsGL was not CLS-compliant, adding difficulty for the non-C# developers out there. Secondly it relied on non-standard unmanaged components that have now been eliminated. It should be considered as a new version of CsGL rather than a new library. The naming change was made to distance ourselves from a C#-only looking title which confused some developers. There are a number of OpenGL libraries out there, all of which created after CsGL, and I agree with Frans that all of these were unnecessary, it would've been much more productive to have contributed to CsGL, but that wasn't the case. They've ended up stumbling into the same issues we ran into and have since ceased production. Anywho, just to clear up, don't see Tao as a seperate library from CsGL, just as an updated version.

Hi folks, does anyone know if there is a working tie in for the GLUT library to VB.net???????????? thanks

Tao is great,i used csgl and it was good, but it seems that csgl hasnt been updated in a while.

vvv

Tao.freeglut is a lib that simulate glut, tou can use it in all .Net (ex C#).

but it is a managed code ???
