Try here on the irrlicht.net wiki (follow instructions for VS2005), if that doesn't work, post again.

Welcome, and have fun (!)

Hi there IvoPereira

http://www.irrforge.org/index.php/Irrli ... s_in_VBNET
here is a site with some vb.net code to work with.

As far as setting up your compiler,

Start a new console application

right click on the project and click add reference
choose irrlicht.net.dll

also you will have to find your output directory (when you try to compile it will give a error) usaly folder you save the project /obj/release or /obj/debug
you need to copy the irrlicht.dll and irrlicht.net.dll to the same folder as your output exe

easy way to do this is compile then dir browse to the project folder and find the exe it just made and copy the dll files to that folder.

Let me know if that helps.

Start out with vb.net tutorial 1 hello world. then work your way up this is the best way to learn this code.

[IvoPereira]

it works!!

thks a lot! now im going to see the tutorials and try to understand all the code


Problem Solved!

I came to this conclussion after googling the site and not actually going to it.
If I am mistaken I am sorry. There were no admins or moderators on at this time.

Wow, that's an easy way to drive visitors to the site: "Warning, contains porn !". On the bad side, going to strange websites and installing activeX controls or anything similar just for porn is a really, really bad idea and is almost guaranteed to be harmful to your PC. (But you all knew that anyway )
