OpenGL and C# - Part 1 - Introduction

Trialution

Introduction

I’m glad to be the first one writing about OpenGL at this site. What I want to show you in this article is that it is fairly easy to setup a form that is capable of showing 3D. We will accomplish this with the OpenGLControl. So before we can start we (that means you) have to download CsGL here, or if it isn’t there anymore, from its project page. For this article I used the CsGL version 1.4.0 I think it will run on later versions though.

Ok let we start. First thing to do is make a new Windows Application. Which I called SimpelOpenGL but its not important. Ok when that done popup the “Solution explorer” and “add reference” the reference for CsGL must be in "D:\WINDOWS\system32\" which are called csgl.dll and csgl-base.dllnotice that there is .dll called csgl-native.dll but you don’t need it.

Ok import the following namespaces

  • System.Threading
  • CsGL.OpenGL

    I am not sure but I think there is a misstyped variable name "Position", I wonder if its "fPlusPostion".

    Cube.cs Line 76
    ----
    this.ViewPort = 0;
    this.fMinusPosition = 0f...

    I have the same problem, but I do actually have that line in place in the constructor of OurView.

    I tried this:

    [code]
       Cube cb = new Cube();
       cb.CubeColorBlue = 0.7f;
       cb.CubeColorGreen = 0....
