Just wanted to confirm that it is possible to render BB3D SDK in a panel control in Visual C# .NET. I have only tested using the Express edition, but I cannot see any reason why it shouldn't work in Visual Studio 2005 pro.

For this example I created a panel and a timer control.
Initially, the timer control to be enabled = false and interval to be 1.

The below code is just a translation of the example which comes with the SDK.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

using bb = Blitz3DSDK;

namespace MyBB3DSDKTest
{
    
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        int cube, light, camera;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            bb.SetBlitz3DHWND(this.panel1.Handle.ToInt32());
            bb.BeginBlitz3D();
            bb.Graphics3D(panel1.Width, panel1.Height, 0, 2);

            cube = bb.CreateCube(0);
            light = bb.CreateLight(1, 0);
            camera = bb.CreateCamera(0);
            bb.PositionEntity(camera, 0, 0, -4, 1);

            timer1.Enabled = true;
        }

        private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {
            bb.EndBlitz3D();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            bb.UpdateWorld(1);
            bb.RenderWorld(0);
            bb.TurnEntity(cube, .1f, .2f, .3f, 1);
            bb.Text(20, bb.GraphicsHeight() - 20, "Blitz3d SDK C# example to use a panel control", 0, 0);
            bb.Flip(1);
        }
    }
}
