Hi,
I have converted samples that do not have their equivalent in C# or VB.NET.

This does not include the ODE.NET Sample I made.

Version 1.0.0.0: Download

I'll check these samples because I'm not fully convinved of the auto conversion tool you used on the ODE sample. I had to make some minor changes to stop it from crashing.

Dark, After installing them, the Animation Showcase sample isn't pointing to the media folder correctly so it doesn't pick up the media folder, and it bombs when I close it down, this happened with the ODE sample conversion as well, but the problem disappeared when I recreated the C# project from scratch. There are a couple of other things as well, but I think with a little time to sort them out, this'll be pretty good.

Cheers

Paul.

Also, I converted these manually.

I sometimes get an unhandled exeption error (that windows one where you can send a report) when i press ESC. Happens even with the simplest of programs, such as the spinning cube. But then i can run it again and have no problems.

Hi,
That is a bug with the GDK. I can't fix it.

Apex,

Every now and again, I get a small problem when running that sample (Original C# one). The window closes but there seems to be a .exe left running in task manager. I've never got the Unhandled exception happen though.

If/When it happens again, I'll use process explorer to burrow down into what the exe/thread is doing.

Jas

Ok great . If the EXE is being left in process, I suspect that the main loop isn't exiting or closing down correctly. Normally this is caused by the 'While oDBP.LoopGDK' itteration from exiting correctly.

With non-winforms apps, this loop gets released when you hit the ESC key, but because WinForms apps tend to kill the oDBInput class, this ESC key isn't detected. You need to make sure that the loop gets killed via flag that is set in the WinForms.Close event.

Paul.

I know that, but im a new member so there is a waiting time from me posting till it ends up here
My message was directed to Apex.

@Apex: The unhandled exception says something about the COM object has disconnected and returned an unhandled HResult. It doesnt happen everytime, but my guess is that when you press escape, the DGDK disconnects before the loop finishes and then the DGDK command on whatever line it disconnected on fails to execute.
The error happens more often if theres more code in the loop.

Heres a screenshot (I'm from Denmark btw):

Basically, the danish part of the message means:
The object has disconnected its clients.

As you can see, this is just the spinning cube with a little extra computing time
