Currently supported API

Post by SnowballTwo »

Hi,

today i downloaded the 3DxWare SDK, and i thought it must be easy to integrate the 3D-Navigation into our C# Projects.
Unfortunately, the FTP-Access to the examples is prohibited at our Company, so i tried it on my own.

First, i started using the TDx.TDxInput.dll (after i tried to use the plain TDxInput.dll from COM, without success). OK, there have been a few interfaces, but not even A BIT of documentation. Not even a generated one. nothing.
After i have been consulting a few forum posts, it turned out that this API is deprecated.

DirectInput is unmanaged, and the DirectX 9 Managed stuff from Microsoft is also deprecated. XNA is no alternative.
HID is also unmanaged, and only accessible via third party libraries or a lot of P/Invoke.

Question:

What is (at the moment) the correct way to implement 3dx functionality in .Net Code?

Hi SnowballTwo,

Our API Support team ought to be able to support you. Login with your "My3Dx" account (create one as a developer if necessary) and, go to the SDK support page and look up the instructions to contact the SDK folks. They will be able to send you a copy.
