Graphics API or Tilemap Control

[Lionel Tabris]

I need a graphics API or Tilemap for Vb.net(VS:2010 RC)
I have been looking All over for one(Search Non GDI vb.net Graphics API and Tilemap for vb.net on Google), but i haven't found one.
So I turned to the community at HBgames.org, and that is where I am now!
Why do I need it?
I need it for the map editor and Game.exe for Ronia Game Engine.
What is a tilemap?
The map editor's Tiles and the tileset.
Credit will be given to anyone who finds this.
If a solution is found, keep posting idea's!
Not allowed APISAnything Direct X)

So if you don't allow anything that relies on Direct X, what do you allow?

What's your reasoning for limiting it so?

Direct X Will not work with VS2010 RC, and
GDI is too slow

Well, for what it's worth: good luck.

You're basically asking for assistance finding a library that doesn't exist.

The only thing you need to get Direct X to work in your program is a managed library that wraps Direct X. Unfortunately the only known support for such a thing is the Microsoft XNA Game Studio. It's in version 3.1 and is not supported yet in Visual Studio 2010.

The issue with developing in a release candidate environment, is you don't have all the bells and whistles of a finished environment, which includes a library for supporting Direct X.
