Overview

Here you will find all of the various pitfalls and hurdles that have been encountered while converting the OGRE project to Axiom.

General

• Use Regions to organize the class ; see ResourceGroupManager.cs

Types

• In OGRE the Real datatype typically converts to float
  this will be fixed with the new DotNet3D.Math library.

Generics

As near as I can figure out so far:

• std::map< T >     ->   System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary< T >
• std::vector< T >   ->   System.Collections.Generic.List< T >
• std::list< T >       ->   System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList< T >
• std::deque< T >   ->   System.Collections.Generic.Stack< T >

Methods

• Convert Get/Set Methods to Properties.
  If the Get/Set Method is simply modifying a field then this can be converted into a Property for the class
• private methods should be named camelCase with a leading underscore.
  

Properties and Fields

• Convert protected fields to private with Protected Properties.
  This is proper implementation for a library, according to the MS guidelines.
