Official C# Support in 2.3

[Darkworth]

Hello, I just bought the 2.3 upgrade and had a quick question. The advertisements for 2.3 state that it now officially supports C#, yet I see no evidence of that in the SDK download anywhere. Is the "official" C# support for 2.3 still done via Ubu's header dll or is it something new?

 

Thanks in advance.

These are the best C# headers to use:

The engine command set has been stable for a long time now, so the user-made headers are very good.

Thanks. Ok I got that setup in a new C# project and am runnin ginto an error right off the bat.

 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Leadwerks;

namespace LW_23_Test1
{
   public class Program
   {
       public static void Main(string[] args)
       {		
           // Initialize the graphics.
           Graphics.Initialize(800, 600);

           // Create a world. A world must be created before anything else.
           new World();

           // Create a camera.
       }
   }
}

 

The new world call,

 

new World();

 

is throwing an AccessViolationException saying:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

 

Here is the stack trace if it helps:

Any ideas on this one?

Well, I'm testing the wrapper just now to use for my project (since I don't like C/C++ and love C#) with the 1.2 beta version downloadable from that thread and it doesn't occur any error. If you are on a x64 machine perhaps you should use x86 build configuration (building x64/AnyCPU configuration it raised some errors on my Windows 7 64-bit). I used the code from the "C# Getting started" page on wiki, only using 800x600 as resolution instead of 640x480 and creating a Windows Form Project instead of a Blank Solution (still you need to copy the DLLs, shaders.pak and Scripts from LE SDK folder to your build executable folder).

[Darkworth]

Thanks ZioRed, soon as I copied the newton.dll into the build folder it started working.

Well I may love C++ when I will be enough forward in my training with it, but atm after almost 10 years of NET programming there is no comparable language as easy but powerful as NET... C++ is really too complex for me now, I must admit that it is really more powerful in term of performance etc but I still know too few about it to appreciate more.

Lumooja, let's please not start a language war. There are many of these around the internet, if you feel like it.

[Canardia]

Yeah, but they all talk about technical stuff, not about love to the language.

Stating your personal opinion elsewhere is great, but why bother saying this in the C# forum?

 

It has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
