Newbie with a bit of difficulty

[DarkLord84]

Hi
I'm completely new to OpenGL and I'm having some trouble trying to get some of the sample codes working.

I've been mainly using the website

http://nehe.gamedev.net
and I have been looking at the lessons and demos but I'm having some difficulty when I try to compile it with the command line.

I have the csgl.dll ,csgl.native.dll, csgl-base.dll and glut32.dll in my Windows\system folder and I also have the glut.h header in my include folder.

When I go to compile the lesson1 C# code it says "'CsGL' could not be found"
and the namespace 'OpenGLControl' could not be found.

I ran lesson two and it works fine.

Could some one please look at this code and tell what's wrong?


using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using CsGL.OpenGL;

namespace Lesson1
{
public class OurView : OpenGLControl
{
public OurView(): base()
{
this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(OurView_OnKeyDown);
}

protected void OurView_OnKeyDown(object Sender, KeyEventArgs kea)
{
//if escape was pressed exit the application
if (kea.KeyCode == Keys.Escape)
{
Application.Exit();
}
}


public override void glDraw()
{
GL.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
GL.glLoadIdentity();
}

protected override void InitGLContext()
{
GL.glShadeModel(GL.GL_SMOOTH); // Enable Smooth Shading
GL.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f); // Black Background
GL.glClearDepth(1.0f); // Depth Buffer Setup
GL.glEnable(GL.GL_DEPTH_TEST); // Enables Depth Testing
GL.glDepthFunc(GL.GL_LEQUAL); // The Type Of Depth Testing To Do
GL.glHint(GL.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL.GL_NICEST); // Really Nice Perspective Calculations
}

protected override void OnSizeChanged(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnSizeChanged(e);
Size s = Size;

GL.glMatrixMode(GL.GL_PROJECTION);
GL.glLoadIdentity();
GL.gluPerspective(45.0f, (double)s.Width /(double) s.Height, 0.1f, 100.0f);
GL.glMatrixMode(GL.GL_MODELVIEW);
GL.glLoadIdentity();
}
}

public class MainForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form // Will show us the OpenGL window
{
private Lesson1.OurView view;

public MainForm()
{
this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(640, 480);
this.Name = "MainForm";
this.Text = "NeHe's Lesson 1 in C# (by Joachim Rohde)";
this.view = new Lesson1.OurView(); // view
this.view.Parent = this;
this.view.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; // Will fill whole form
}

static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new MainForm());
}
}
}


Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

You might have to add a reference to the CsGL assembly to your project. In the Solution Explorer you should find a folder called References; right-click and choose Add Reference, then either find CsGL in the list or if it's not there, click Browse and navigate to the file.
