Game development in dotnet

[vbian]

Hi,
I'm looking for information about companies using dotnet for the next
generation of games. I've been impressed by the managed examples that
come with the dx9 sdk, they're a huge step up from those available with
the dx8 and below sdk's.
There also seem to be a number of books covering this subject, but then
I've still got a copy of "C++ real-time graphics" which probably didn't
inspire the original wolfenstein ;)

If you can recommend any community sites which deal with this, or
provide insights I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking to move into the
industry, I touched it briefly and didn't gel, but there are some
projects I'm interested in :)

I hope that's not too ambiguous, ++thanks.

Ian

Try www.gamedev.net. They have a lot of great articles for both managed
and unmanaged game development, plus really good forums for asking
questions.
www.flipcode.com is also another good site.
