Vortice.Windows is a collection of Win32 and UWP libraries with bindings support for DXGI, WIC, DirectWrite, Direct2D, Direct3D9, Direct3D11, Direct3D12, XInput, XAudio2 and X3DAudio.

This project was born as SharpDX has recently gone inactive and the aim is to have a .NET Standard 2.0 API and usage of modern stuff like Unsafe and SharpGen.Runtime.

The API may change between releases, make sure to take look at CHANGELOG

Library development, contributions and bugfixes by:

• Amer Koleci

SharpDX bindings where used for some platforms to understand how mapping works using SharpGenTools.

In order to compile, make sure no spaces are present in the solution path otherwise SharpGen will fail to generate bindings. Also, you need to install Visual Studio 2019 with the following components:

• Visual C++ Toolset Component
• Windows 10 - 2004 SDK (10.0.19041.0) Component
• .NET Core SDK

All packages are available as NuGet packages:

Nightly packages can be downloaded from NuGet as well.

• Direct3D12 DXR samples by CAMongrel D3D12SampleRaytracerSharp.
• Direct3D12 DXR raytracing samples ported from NVIDIA samples by Jorgemagic
• ImGUI example using Vortice.Windows VorticeImGui
