Can anyone recommend some good C# and Directx tutorials? I cant stand working from the samples, it doesnt feel like my code and i cant seem to learn anything from the samples.

C#? If you are familiar with C# I would suggest spending some time learning C/C++ 6...Stay away from the .NET framework...It is not so much a gaming platform but a business platform...It is slow very slow...


First off I really have not seen anything on using directX...The .NET framework has GDI+ and that seems to be similar but slower...but, if you are interested I found a few articles that may help you out

Hi there i have found a tutorial on directdraw. although it contains some bugs(just like my english) it was most helpful.
if you have some errors just look at the code you can download at the end of each chapter.

this is the URL.

hope this helps,

thx..oh ye tazman i was coding in c++ for 1 and a half year and made the switch because of c# ease.

Then you really have no business posting in this thread.

Really, the C# examples included in the DirectX9 SDK are very simple. I also dislike just looking over other people''s code, but I found the samples very easy to understand (even with no prior C# or DirectX experience). Just use the DirectX9 Sample Browser (which should have been installed with the SDK) to find them. I haven''t really looked at anything besides the D3D stuff, to be honest, though. I hope that helps.
