3D Image....
-
Hi All, I am developing an application which uses directx apis to render a 3d image. I want to use .Net framework.Which one of the below languages is good for doing that.I am pretty new to .net.I may seek some coding help from internet. 1.)VC++.Net(Form based application) 2.)Vb.net(Form based application) 3.)C#.net(Form based application) Please advice, Ashwath.

If you are using the Managed DirectX APIs, which I assume you are as you are using .Net then the language used is up to you. C# probably has the best range of Sample code available, while VB.Net has lots more programmers to ask. VC++ is for those who are comfortable with C++, which I struggle with myself. I only use it where C code is required, such as ExtendedMAPI calls. So, pick the language you are most comfortable with, or if you are starting from scratch as a programmer I would recommend C# (But again, that is just my personal preference).

As mentioned above, you should choose a language you're comfortable with, but if you're looking for the best performance (i.e. high frame rates, high vertex and poly counts, complex shaders etc.) then C++ is definitely the best choice of the three.

If you go with .NET, I suggest checking out SlimDX[^] instead of using Managed DirectX (MDX). AFAIK, MDX is not officially supported on Vista or 7, and doesn't provide access to DX 11 (not sure on DX 10). SlimDX, however, is still in active development, and includes DX 11 support. I haven't found a whole lot of sample code for it, but most MDX code samples can be easily converted to SlimDX (the API is pretty similar). Dybs
