C# / XNA Framework / WinForm:

XNA3.1: Zip file containing tutorials from (for VS2008 and XNA3.1) UWB_GL_Lib1 to UWB_GL_Lib13. (By Robert Stone, and Neil Erdman).
XNA 2.0: If for some reasons, you prefer to work with older versions: here is the source code to the tutorials with VS2005 and XNA2.0.
How to upgrade: If you wonder, here is how you can update to the latest XNA release.

NOTE on XNA working with 64-bit OS: If you are working with a 64-bit OS, take a look at this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2008/02/25/xna-framework-on-64-bit-windows.aspx. (Thanks to Shane Krolikowski for finding this reference).

Working with GUI APIs: Tutorials in XNA Framework with custom XNA framework based UWB_GUI library. These tutorials will run on PC, XBOX 360, and may be even on the Zune.

UWB_GUI: By Peter Yiap

Tutorials: By Howard Yuan

Detail step-by-stop guide on how to use this GUI library is under development. For now, here is a very simple example of a program that is based on the UWB_GUI library. NOTICE: you will need a wired-XBOX 360 controller connected to your PC to control the mouse. You may need to download the controller driver from here.

C# / XNA Framework / UWB_GUI: (can be configured/compiled to run on XBOX 360)

Zip file containing tutorials from UWB_GL_Lib1, and UWB_GL_Lib5 to UWB_GL_Lib11. (By Howard Yuan. Initial UWB_GUI by Peter Yiap, initial XNA Framework based UWB_GL by Robert Stone).
