You do not necessarily need to resort to C++. The .NET framework comes w/ a graphics library called GDI++, which is robust for many bitmap operations (Not necessarily robust enough for an extremely high impact game.) Not only that you can still resort to the good ol Win32 API. However, the .NET framework alleviates most of that need.

But if you are looking to tap into a robust library, that is especially geared towards multimedia and game programming, then you are in luck. Version 9.0 of the Direct-X API is supported directly by .NET and hence VB.NET. To make things better, it is free to tap into.

Direct-X has all ur 3d-graphics manupulation, advance support for hardware, and so forth.

Yes thank you both for you response, but i wanted to know somthing else. I thought, or used to think that Direct-X was only for RUNNING games, not making them. I can download it but how do i run a manipulator???

Can you direct me through. THX

If you download the Direct-X 9.0 SDK it will have the instructions on how to build programs w/ Direct-x. The direct-x SDK will be a bunch of managed dll files that you can reference in Visual Studios.NET. Once you reference the dll's you can manipulate the direct-x API like you manipulate the System or System.Collections namespace for instance. Personally I have not worked w/ the SDK but have sucessfully installed it. Several sample projects come w/ the SDK. Also a direct-x project template and wizard gets installed as part of Visual Studio.net. So not only do u have icons for creating a new Win32 app or an ASP.NET app, you also have an icon for creating a direct-x app.

With VB6 you can program direct-x as well, but only Direct-x version 7.0 and 8.0. There are COM type libraries that you can reference under the project->References dialog.
