Raw Input API in C#?

[kfilimon]

Hello,

I'm trying to switch to Raw Input API
I downloaded SDK and looked at the examples and documentation.

1) I'm wondering how I can use Raw Input API in C#. All the examples and docs are for C++. Are there any samples for C#? (Visual Basic would be also fine).
I tried to Google "Using Raw Input C#" just to get the concept, but didn't find anything useful.

2) I'm using MS Visual Studio 2010 and the samples from SDK could not be opened there. (the same problems were when I wanted to open SDK examples for LCD)

Problems to convert project files.
Conversion Report for mcad.vcproj:
- Line: 121 Column: 5 Error Message: System error: -2147154677. The file
- Failed to upgrade platform 'x64'. Please make sure you have it installed under '%vctargetspath%\platforms\x64'
- VCWebServiceProxyGeneratorTool is no longer supported. The tool has been removed from your project settings.
- Failed to upgrade 'Debug|x64'. Please make sure you have the corresponding platform installed under '%vctargetspath%\platforms\x64'
- The project configuration dimension name/value "(Platform, Win32)" was not found in the project manifest.

What could you recommend that I could launch the samples and study how Raw Input API works?

Thank you,
Konstantin

Hi kfilimon,

There's a very interesting article by Emma Burrows in the CodeProject site.

Update (Feb 24, 2015): it seems that the original article is not longer available. Emma has authored this article also at Code Project that might also helpful.
