for managed DirectX:
microsoft.publi c.win32.program mer.directx.man aged

If you've downloaded the DirectX SDK, you've got the full documentation
including a lot of samples. The managed docs are incomplete (still *grrrr*)
but the knowledge can be taken from the (unmanged) C++ docs.

You may also want to check www.gamedev.net - it's a game programming
oriented web site - plenty of extremely experienced people in the forums.

Hello. I want to render in a picturebox (pbD3DSurface) using DirectDraw.

Hello. What is the best to use? DirectDraw from DirectX 7.0 or Direct3D from DirectX 8.0 when the only thing one wants to do is to draw bitmaps fast on the screen in fullscreen mode. I think DirectX 9.0 is not a topic in C# right now when one wants to have fast access to DirectX as the type libraries for visual basic that can be used in c# only exist in DirectX7 and DirectX8, correct? Searching the net I didn´t find really useful...

While the official Python Tutorial has served its purpose well, keeping it up to date is hardly anyones top priority, and there are others who passionately create really good Python tutorials on the web. I think 'A Byte of Python' by Swaroop C H is a good beginners tutorial, and 'Dive Into Python' by Mark Pilgrim is a good tutorial for more experienced programmers.

Howdy! I'm having a bit of trouble with my DirectDraw clipper. The code compiles fine and runs without a hitch; however, it doesn't work. That is, there is no clipping! I get the exact same behavior as when I have no clipper used. It's all very mysterious as I've compared my code with dozens of others' that work, yet I can't find any differences in mine. I've tried to reduce my relevant code to as little as possible. Here is the function...
