  Hi ,

  Can you please elaborate your question bit  ? What type of curve is it ?   and what parameter are you passing. A parameter that defines the position on the curve is nothing but the co-ordinate.

  Thanls for reply...well I'm trying to create a control using a bezier2d  curve, user-editable...I need to read off the cordinates along the curve and pass them to a function that increments a morph controller. In maxscript, you can determine the percentage along a spline and a function called 'lengthInterp()'  which returns the cordinates of a point lying on the spline at a point determiend by the path percentage( or u parameter)....I'd just like a dot net version of that function as I thought it might be more robust or faster.

  When you talk about .Net, which graphics library do you use? The actual implementation would be quite different depending on your choice. Searching with keywords like "bezier2d  system.drawing" would get you started

  For the math part, you probably want to check  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Computer_graphics if you want to draw it by yourself.
