hello

is their much difference in using directx8 compared to directx9 in graphics
programming or gaming.?

I cant find this information on this website
 
Hi there,

It's always a good idea to start learning the newest addition if you
haven't touched any directx before. I've been teaching myself DirectX9
lately and don't think it's all that difficult when you get going, you just
need to find the right internet based resources for learning, and that does
*not* include the MS newsgroup unfortunately, you'll pull your hair out
trying! :-)

Hi John,

Unfortunately nope, but it's not particularly difficult to convert a
small C# project to VB.NET. You could even use the conversion functionality
of SharpDevelop. I actually found that during the coversion process I
learnt more than I would have done had I been given a native VB.NET example.

There are a few useful samples splattered around the web, you just have
to have the patience to look. I will put some DirectX tutorials onto my new
site that I'm making but that's not instant gratification for yourself, but
I would personally suggest converting the triangle polygon tutorial and try
making it a little more object orientated.

Notice that there are separate groups for DirectX-related questions
available:

microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.managed
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.sdk

Notice other peoples replies! The group for DirectX is not productive,
your talking to someone who's tried it and got nowhere. The only help your
likely to get will be telling you to check out the samples. That's not my
idea of help!
