64-bit Managed DirectX

Question

I am writing a 64 bit application. It must run as a 64 bit application on Windows 7, which is to say that 32-bit compatibility mode is not permitted. I want to use managed DirectX to accomplish some multimedia playback. Where/how can I get managed 64-bit DLLs for DirectX?

Answer 1

There is no Managed DirectX. The program got replaced by XNA which is likely not what you're looking for. Perhaps you should look into DirectShow or MediaFoundation ( .NET ) as DirectX isn't the recommended way to perform media playback. If you're using DirectX for other reasons there are other implementations of DirectX via interop (see other answers).

Answer 2

Managed DirectX is deprecated. However you might want to have a look at SlimDX (they have 64 bit support) or sharpdx .
