How do I link a project in opengl to a button in windows form application in C#

Question

See more:

I have a project in which I have used opengl to rotate a cube . This project has a main class . I have a second project in which I have made a form and that form has a OK button. Now on clicking OK button the opengl project should open
NOTE : The opengl is a console window application while the other is a windows form application

What I have tried:

I have added the opengl rotation project to the solution of my windows form project and I have also added the reference of the opengl project to the solution project . After that I tried to make objects of the opengl rotation project but it failed.

"but it failed."
In what way did it fail?

Actually i don't know how to call the object of openGL console appplication project from my Windows Form project(on button click).Is there any way in which i can share the source code of these projects with you.

You don't "call the object of openGL console appplication project". Unless of course you just wish to run the application as a separate process. What you really need to do is create a DLL from the openGL project that you can call from your forms application. Or, add the relevant parts of the openGL source code into your forms application and use it directly.

Sir, Can you be more specific please. I didn't get you.Like the main purpose of the project will be taking some values from the Windows form(for example-length of side of a Cube) and then feeding the value to the OpenGL project which will then draw a cube with the given height.
By basic step just know is just to draw a cube with any height by just clicking a button on windows form.

I cannot be specific because I do not know how your code is written. Assuming you know how to develop the two existing projects, it should be a fairly simple matter to take parts of each and build a single project that does what you want.

Sorry, I don't do private consultancy; CodeProject is an open forum and that's the way we like it.
