createsunlight

Apologies in advance, I am new to VB.net or any scripting
for that matter but will keep trying and hope you can help.
Having completed numerous online tutorials, which will be handy
when our company expands into online dating with it's
various forms, but for now we're keeping it simple with bridges
and I just want to do some basics in RhinoCommon.

From the SDK I expected the following to work(ish)

Private Sub RunScript(ByVal x As Double, ByVal y As Double, ByVal z As Double, ByRef A As Object)
Dim sunny As New light
sunny = Rhino.Geometry.Light.createsunlight(x, y, z)
A = Sunny
End Sub

but no joy. "createsunlight is not a member of Rhino.Geometry.Light"

Why is the createsunlight a method btw?

Any help appreciated

Hi Thomas,

CreateSunLight is a Rhino5 method only, it does not exist when running Grasshopper on Rhino4.

? But I thought I did this in Rhino 5.
(OMG, is this the dream when I realise I have no underwear on at the school prom)

...... okay just checked I'm running rhino 5 with GH

Ok.. er... I'm lost then. The method is greyed out when compiling for Rhino4 and it becomes active when compiling for Rhino5. I don't know why it's not showing up.

I just tested in my (fairly old) Rhino5 install and the method is definitely there, although it seems to be throwing memory corruption exception <shiver>. I'm going to have to pass this off to either Steve or Andy, maybe they'll be able to shed some light (ha ha) on this.

ps. It's ok if you're not wearing underwear, provided you're wearing everything else isn't it?
