C# simple directX control

Question

I would like to implement basic 3D visualization in my winforms app using DirectX

My model:

• polygons with holes and thickness
• cylinders
• text 2D
• textures basic
• lighting

Scene control:

• zoom
• panning
• rotate

Is any "all in one" .net control that I can easy put on form and setup my model by adding shape primitives ?

Answer 1

I don't know if there is a control that has the exact functionality you want, but this sample contains a GraphicsDeviceControl which I've used in the past to obtain a similar control as the one you want. You'll have to add zoom, panning, rotate but this shouldn't be too difficult in 3D world.
