Managed DirectX

[Guest]

I currently use the Windows Media ActiveX control in my windows form vb.net
application. I have recently noted that DirectX is available as managed
code. Are there any examples for vb showing how to play a video file with
managed DirectX.

Thanks,
Fred Herring

There's only basic support in MDX (Directshow is not part of the core
DirectX SDK anymore) for video playback. If you've got the SDK
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/directx.asp), there's the
Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback namespace and it's Video class. I
haven't tried it, I only tell what I see in the docs.

There's also a group for MDX:
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.managed
