Open Gl Usage in C++ or C#

Question

Hi my teacher has planned to do some programming teaching for us .He said that we have to chose OpenGL and use it to do graphics Stuff.

He has given each student liberty to select language of own choice.

I have experience with c# but class lectures would be in Visual c++ some students have decided to go for JAVA Some for C++ now i want to ask is that

does OpenGL Supports c# ?

can we do all the things that are possible in c++ (so that i can translate the Class work in c#)

in which language is it easy to deal with OpenGl

basically I am not comfortable with c++.

I can see several (correct) answers by googling 'OpenGL C#'. Do you think posting here is easier than making a single search request yourself?.. — kvark, Apr 02 '11 at 20:18

I think you mean, does C# support OpenGL. OpenGL is language agnostic, so you would not ask if it supported C#, but the other way around.

There are two frameworks i know of for C# opengl development,

Tao
OpenTK

However, you have to realize that with any framework, you end up learning the framework more than the actual technology its using.

There are frameworks that have been built to do openGL in C#. I would recommend doing a google search and searching the site here before posting questions, as I found several answers immediately. This one seems to be the most informative, with several suggestions for openGL in C#. Also this came up in a google search as well.

In regards to being able to do all the same things you can do in other languages like C++ I can't be sure since you're pretty much at the mercy of user-created frameworks, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you'll run into problems not as easily solved as if you were working in C++. I'd personally recommend going with C++. Trust me, the last thing you want to do is just stick with what is comfortable for you. You can't go wrong learning C++. – Mar 31 '11 at 14:41

Simply You have two options:

Either Learn C++
Or use CsGL which is a wrapper for OpenGl
