Hi Tom; I should have said that MS is deprecating MDX; it is in the August DX readme under the " Last Release of the DirectX SDK That Will Contain ...." section. I know you mentioned this, but just thought I would throw it in: This is the final release of the DirectX SDK that will contain the following components:
list of 9 items . Direct3D8 and all of the earlier versions . Direct3D RM . DirectAnimation . DirectMusic . DirectInput7 and all of the earlier versions . DirectPlay . DirectPlayVoice . DirectX8-era HRESULT conversion routines . Managed DirectX samples and documentation list end http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xna/aa937789.aspx Also, a less reliable source, but something that does not seem to be disputed, this is from the MS forums: http://forums.xna.com/thread/29681.aspx I also saw it somewhere else on MS, but I can't find it right now. I really hope that I just miss understood something. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 1:45 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] new direct 9 Hi Sean, What do you mean by Microsoft is no longer supporting Managed DirectX? Where did you hear or read that information? I certainly haven't heard anything about this until I read your post. I just checked the latest runtime setup and all the managed libraries are there, and they are all up to date builds. I see no evidence at least from my end that they have dropped managed support. I do know that the new development kit requires Visual Studio 2005 or higher, .Net Framework2.0 or higher, and the managed source code samples have been removed from this SDK, but that is not necessarily out right dropping support for managed DirectX. By the way, there are some things that have been officially dropped in the november release such as Direct Music all versions, Direct Play all versions, and several DirectX 8 libs have been pulled from the official release. Anyway, if you can send me a link for a web page, an official email, etc that outlines exactly the who, what, when, why, and how the managed dll files will be dropped I'll be able to answer the question of what next.
