    Regarding Visualization capabilities in VB.Net

    Hi All
    I am working for a EE Department. We are in the process of
    developing some application that requires 3D visualization
    and other display routines. Can anyone clarify that if
    thats possible.

    Thanks
    Regards

    You can use GDI+ or managed DirectX, or managed OpenGL.

    GDI+ is standard in the Framework install. See System.Drawing namespace.
    It is great for 2D visualization

    Managed DirectX is a separate SDK download from Microsoft. It is great for
    3D visualization on Windows.

    get the DirectX SDK here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...1d97f320-9dfd-

    &displaylang =en


    A .NET Managed version of OpenGL can be found at:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/csgl/

    OpenGl is best for platform portability. Keep in mind the framework will
    be available via Mono on the Linux platform. So if you need to support
    more than windows in a 3D visualization use OpenGL.
