Managed DirectX 9 Kick Start
Graphics and Game Programming
Résumé
Managed DirectX was released with the latest version of
the core DirectX libraries in DirectX9. It enables
developers using the new .NET languages (i.e. C#, VB.NET,
etc.) to develop rich multimedia applications with DirectX.
Unfortunately the Managed DirectX runtime was released
without adequate documentation, and developers are having a
hard time figuring out the best way to write managed
applications.
This book covers how to use the Managed DirectX objects,
how they differ from the core DirectX libraries, and how to
create these rich multimedia applications in C#. It also
covers in depth graphics techniques and the new high-level
shader language shipping with DirectX9.
