Hey Guys,

this is my first try on Mogre n Newton,
Engine is running no problem, Newtons running... (hit F3)

I'am writing on simple basic prog like tutorila + sample1 mogrenewt in vb...
to get in touch with the engine...
BUT i'm getting an strange System.NullReferenceException
when I hit the space -> shoot a cube...
with the line
box1 = mySceneManager.CreateEntity("Entity" & (System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(mEntityCount), mEntityCount - 1)), "box.mesh")

Don't know whats missing ...

Would be great, someone knows...
Heres the code:
