Answer 1

You need to create an OpenGL context on the window. You can do this via Tao.SimpleOpenGlControl (windows-only) or OpenTK.GLControl (cross-platform).

As datenwolf suggested, once you have an OpenGL context you can render GLUT shapes at will.

How can I do this?

glutSolidSphere actually doesn't depend on GLUT being used for the window. But why bother, drawing a sphere is simple. It's easy to write it yourself (https://stackoverflow.com/a/5989676/524368) and there exist ready to use libraries as well.

No need to use GLUT.
