How can i find which DIrectX version install on my system through code

Question

How can i find the current install version of directx on my system using code(C#).

Answer 1

On xp you can check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX" registry for DirectX version

Answer 2

I realize that it's slightly off topic...

You might want to look into using SlimDX as a managed DirectX wrapper instead of Managed DirectX, since Microsoft has dropped support for 64-bit DirectX in Managed DirectX.

Answer 3

What about dynamically requesting different versions of DirectX objects through COM via the CoCreateInstance call? Check for fail conditions which would indicate a version is not available. Check one-by-one with the latest version until you get an object successfully.

Answer 4

I found the solution Here, This code is in C++, but we can easily convert into managed code.
