RhinoScript (based on VBScript) does indeed have a similar heritage as VB.NET, but the two languages are very different. They use a different SDK and they are based on different paradigms.

Pretty much everything you can do with RhinoScript you can also do with VB/C#, but not the other way around. Furthermore, you cannot use RhinoScript in Grasshopper at all.

....with the exception of Python-based rhinoscriptsyntax, which is available in GhPython.
rhinoscriptsyntax mimics every method in VbScript-based RhinoScript, but it is based on Python.

See the Rhino.Python community for more details.

Thanks,

I'm a little puzzled by this statement now :)

Then, I'll maybe rephrase the question like this:

It is generally possible to handle all Rhino geometry types in C# as in VbScript-based RhinoScript?

The answer is yes. RhinoCommon, that you use in C# and Vb.Net, is object oriented, while VbScript RhinoScript is more imperative.

Cheers,

RhinoScript¹º¹ will be almost entirely though not completely useless. RhinoScript is based on a different language paradigm and uses a different SDK. It will probably just confuse you.
