SharpDX is an open-source platform-independent Managed DirectX API for the .NET environment.

The API naming convention has been kept as much as possible similar to the well known SlimDX API, which is currently using C++/CLI assemblies.

Version 2.1 fully supports the following low-level DirectX APIs:
