ahhh, no, i just see that this is not possile. however, using struct or a class will be a bit unconvenient since it doesn't number the variables automatically. i just like.... typedef enum { Blue, Red, Yellow, Green[9] }; anything else messes up the code i believe, Dominik no one's got an idea???? thanks, Dominik

As for the answer to b, I suggest the C# multimedia - DirectX[^] section on CP. My article is on a 2D game port and there are others that talk about just 2D and not 3D. Steve Maier, MCSD MCAD

You probably have to write a separate program and use pre- or post- build events to call that program. That means the program should be command line (Console).

Actually, you're not passing a copy of the array: just like in C++, you're passing a pointer to the array. In C#, everything, but the native types (int, char, double, float, decimal) are pointers under the hood. Try changing the array inside the function and you'll see that what you're passing is actually a pointer. Yes, even I am blogging now!
