C++ -> .NET implementation listing

hi all,
I have found only a couple of tutorials using the C# bindings, but can read C++, and I see there are a number of very good tutorials C++. So, I am wondering if anyone knows of a list of "translations" from the C++ API to the C# API. I know that in some cases this is easy to guess (or find) but it has been quite the challenge so far.
This would also help me to know exactly what from the original engine has been ported to Irrlicht.NET
Thank you,
Tamur

Just go through the Irrlicht C++ help and the Irrlicht.Net help.
The interfaces are almost the same so you can find out which is missing and where.

I have the same question,too!
When I read the code of Irrlicht.NET, I can see only fewer classes in it.
I don't know how the Irrlicht.NET is done.
Does it provide all API as the C++ one?

Exactly. AND -- it's a great way to get familiar with the .NET framework as well.
I would think (hope) that any Irrlicht C++ code that was ported would be posted or contributed to help bring the .NET version up to date.
Of course, that's Niko's call...
BTW, if you're looking for a great book on C#, I highly recommend O'Reilly's "Programming C#, 4th Edition". It's very good and covers a lot of C++/VB to C# syntax differences as well as subtle .NET 1.1 to 2.0 changes.

Here is an small example of using .X mesh
Code: Select all
ITexture planet_tex = device.VideoDriver.GetTexture(@"earth.bmp");
IAnimatedMesh planet_mesh = device.SceneManager.GetMesh(@"earth.x");
ISceneNode planet_node = device.SceneManager.AddAnimatedMeshSceneNode(planet_mesh, null, -1);
planet_node.SetMaterialTexture(0, planet_tex);
