Resources for Development Using DirectX in C#?

Question

Could some one provide me some good resources for development using DirectX in C#?

Answer 1

There is an old port of DirectX on C# in DirectX SDK from MS.

Also there is an open-source framework called SlimDX: http://code.google.com/p/slimdx/

Answer 2

Microsoft's XNA uses DirectX, it is designed to make DirectX/Game programming easier for managed developers.

Answer 3

If DirectX is not strictly required, I encourage you to try Ogre3D. It is graphics engine that built on top of DirectX or OpenGL. The library is originally in C++ but the MOgre C# wrapper is working fine. And it is easy to get started.
