most recent C# wrapper?

[Rick]

Where is the link to the most recent C# library?

[ZioRed]

It should be the one in the download > tools section

[AggrorJorn]

The pinned topics are a little confusing about what things you can download, what you need or where to download it. There are several website you can download stuff from.

That's because Josh doesn't want user moderators and doesn't have time to clean up.

Sorry for the confusion, really can't do anything about it.

Don't worry Lazlo. You don't have to apologize because you are one the people who put a lot of work in the headers. Perhaps an email to Anika would be usefull. I believe that she does the community managing. Then there could be one main topic about C# including:

 

• What is a header, wrapper and what is the leadwerks.dll.
  
• Were can I download them.
  
• Available documentation.

• A header is the medium between your coding language and the Leadwerks Engine.
  
• A wrapper is an object oriented approach to a header - it's basically a OOP header.
  
• You can download them at www.middlewerks.com/headers or in the "Downloads" section of Werkspace, under "Tools and Utilities" (look for "32-bit .NET DLL")
  
• The documentation is available on the same site. In Visual-Studio documentation will be coming soon.
  
• Even though the site says the custom engine.dll is required, it is not. Some custom methods require it, but few of them.

Could it be, that i recently cant create a Terrain with Terrain.Create(resoultion) with the current wrapper??

[ZioRed]

The new syntax is:

 

Terrain terrain = new Terrain(resolution);

 

Mostly of the old ".Load" or ".Create" seems finally to be replaced with the OOP way of "new [Class]" (new Mesh.Cube())

[L B]

However, you can still use load. Both syntax are accepted:

Mesh loaded = new Mesh("abstract::tree.gmf");
Mesh loaded = Mesh.Load("abstract::tree.gmf");

This is good, then I'll switch back to C# ASAP It would be useful if you write down a list of the features available only to custom DLL somewhere in the headers documentation (maybe also directly in the internal context documentation).

 

PS: since you're going to create the internal documentation, I would suggest you to use Doxygen (if you don't already know) to create the html/PDF documentation automatically from the source code XML doc.

By the way...

Have you guys seen this tool PInvoke Toolkit

 

I use it frequently at work to create cs-code from C++-DLL's

and it works like charm.

Thanks for the link, but the P/Invoke / DllImport has already been completed by Tyler
