getting text on the lcd

[DerCheffe]

Hi, i know, you think, i'm a fool. Maybe you are right. My Problem is, that i have written a Programm for the LCD. For the most of you, this programm will be very useless, cause its for the game Enemy Territory.
I'm testing it right now, but i'm still testing it in the console, cause i'm to stupid, to know how to put the text, written in the console, to the lcd.
I'm using c#, cause my c++ knowlege is very bad. I would be very happy if somebody can help me. But it has to be like "Getting text on the lcd with c# for DUMMIES" :lol: . I never worked with libaries or somthing. I'm using visual stuido 2005 express for c#.
please help me.

Don't count yourself out. I love Enemy Terretory and would love to get back into it. An app for that would be very cool.

You are writing in C#, so you will need the .NET libraries to program with the LCD.
There are several of these libraries available.

My personal choice after trying a few is this LgLCD one from g15mods. http://www.g15mods.com/files/DotNetLCD.zip

However, g15forums does have several of its own. All quite similiar as far as i have seen.

Thelibraries all have samples with them, but if they don't do exactly what you need, experimenting is quite straight-forward anyway.
Reference the library in Visual Studio. Then import the namespace. I wrote my own class when using the lgLCD libaries as drawing graphics etc. to the LCD is slightly more difficult, and making it quick is even worse. However, a little memory work overcame it :D.

Anyway, i am sure you can experiment a little with these.

I think they are all fairly similiar, and all seemed to work well. You can do pretty much everything with each of them :)
