Is Framework 3.0 Graphics intended to replace managed DirectX 3D graphics?

My question is in the subject line.

Hello, Fred!

FMMy question is in the subject line.

"Direct3D: Part of the DirectX family of APIs, Direct3D lets applications create and display 3D graphics. With the advent of the .NET Framework 3.0, mainstream Windows applications can use the 3D capabilities in WPF rather than the more specialized approach that Direct3D provides. Still, some applications that need higher performance, such as 3D games, will continue to use Direct3D. In fact, under the covers, WPF relies on Direct3D for all rendering. "

Fred,

My experience with WPF so far shows that 3D capabilites of WPF are pretty
limited. It can be used as complementary tool for creating better user
experience, but cannot replace DirectX.

No, it's not, DirectX 3D is now part of XNA a completely separate product.
Please consult : http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/XNA/default.aspx for more
info.

Can the 3.5 version of .NET Framework (currently Beta 2) be installed on pre-Vista machines? Or is it Vista-only? And, why doesn't .NET Framework come pre-installed with the operating system? I think one of the main reasons people will reject such software is having to install something first. I understand it might need upgrading, but why do Windows machines come without any .NET Framework (or am I wrong about this)? It seems that...

Hi all, I want to make a 3d cube of lattice points. The user should be able to rotate the cube-lattice around (via left-click-hold), and zoom in-out of the lattice (via wheel). The intended purpose of this is for a "mapping" tool, where the lattice points represent "locations", and paths can be drawn between them (sequences of edges).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
