Because you’re using VB.NET you won’t be able to do any cylinder at all: this is forbidden :smiley:

No, I’m kidding…

Glu quadrics are what you’re looking for. Create one quadric and then call gluCylinder to make what you want.

Hi
Actually I did it in the same way. I created one quadric and called gluCylinder but there is coming some error “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” at the step where I used the created quadric. I dont know how to rectify this error.
Please help.

It seems that you declared and used a reference without having affected it to an existed instance of that object type. As a reference is just an ‘alias’ you are using something that doesn’t exist.

However I’ve done so few VB in the past that I can’t ensure that, but that seems the way.

Hope that helps.
