Your alternatives are the XNA Framework and SlimDX, as detailed in the note to our MDX primer.

MDXInfo is maintained as a resource for these older MDX projects, which convey concepts and techniques that should carry over to XNA and/or SlimDX. Resources from us on XNA can be found on XNAInfo. The old central XNA tutorial site ZiggyWare unfortunately went down, a newer initiative can be found at Sgt Conker]]>feedback@mdxinfo.com (Rim van Wersch)http://www.mdxinfo.com/tutorials/primer.phpWed, 03 Feb 2010 10:10:00 +0000http://slimdx.mdxinfo.com/September 2008 release of SlimDX which adds support for Direct3D 9Ex and DirectSound, along with the regular maintenance.

We'll also be providing a home for slimDX, a community effort to create a lean and mean managed wrapper around DirectX as a replacement for MDX.

Our XNA adventures have gotten a bit delayed and the community that sprang up around it already provides numerous excellent resources, but we're still looking to get some useful info onto XNAInfo. If anyone's still interested in helping out to get this going, just drop us a line. We're looking to fill in the few gaps where yet another XNA site might be of use, so we'll need to focus on advanced topics and detailed informational tutorials that aim to provide a deeper understanding of the API.

To wrap up this post, here's the link to the official MDX obituary notice.]]>feedback@mdxinfo.com (Rim van Wersch)http://letskilldave.com/archive/2007/07/29/august-directx-sdk-is-available-for-download-important-changes-announced.aspxMon, 06 Aug 2007 07:00:00 +0100http://www.mdxinfo.com/resources.php?view=Advanced%20samples) and a sample on projected textures and shadow mapping.

In completely unrelated news, you have probably all heard about XNA and deployment of managed code on the XBox360 (if not, go here now!). We'll continue our efforts to further the managed 'game programming evolution' by providing a similar site with XNA info on http://www.xnainfo.com. Since XNA isn't released just yet, the link just redirects you to MDXInfo, but we've got some nice things in the works!]]>feedback@mdxinfo.com (Rim van Wersch)http://www.mdxinfo.com/resources/xinput.phpFri, 25 Aug 2006 11:19:12 +0100http://www.mdxinfo.com/articles/hotlabs.php]]>feedback@mdxinfo.com (Pieter Germishuys)http://www.mdxinfo.com/articles/hotlabs.phpFri, 18 Aug 2006 11:13:06 +0100http://letskilldave.com/archive/2006/06/29/XNA-Framework-tidbits_2E002E002E00_.aspxhas posted a few hints regarding what will and will not be available on the XNA Framework platform.
