Regarding Visualization capabilities in VB.Net

Hi All
I am working for a EE Department. We are in the process of
developing some application that requires 3D visualization
and other display routines. Can anyone clarify that if
thats possible.

Thanks
Regards

You can use GDI+ or managed DirectX, or managed OpenGL.

GDI+ is standard in the Framework install. See System.Drawing namespace.
It is great for 2D visualization

Managed DirectX is a separate SDK download from Microsoft. It is great for
3D visualization on Windows.

get the DirectX SDK here:

&displaylang=en
A .NET Managed version of OpenGL can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/csgl/

OpenGl is best for platform portability. Keep in mind the framework will
be available via Mono on the Linux platform. So if you need to support
more than windows in a 3D visualization use OpenGL.
