Rapid Development

Strong types and inline documentation improve your code flow and help you catch errors sooner.

Easy Integration

Use the toolkit standalone or integrate it into your Windows.Forms, WPF or GTK# application.

Total Freedom

The Open Toolkit is distributed under the permissive MIT/X11 license and is absolutely free.

The Open Toolkit is an advanced, low-level C# library that wraps OpenGL, OpenCL and OpenAL. It is suitable for games, scientific applications and any other project that requires 3d graphics, audio or compute functionality.

The Open Toolkit runs on many operating systems and can be used by every Mono/.Net language: C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, F#, Boo and many more.
