**Vortice.Windows** is a collection of Win32 and UWP libraries with bindings support for [DXGI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/direct3ddxgi/d3d10-graphics-programming-guide-dxgi), [WIC](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wic/-wic-lh), [DirectWrite](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/directwrite/direct-write-portal), [Direct2D](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/direct2d/direct2d-portal), [Direct3D9](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d9/dx9-graphics), [Direct3D11](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/direct3d11/atoc-dx-graphics-direct3d-11), [Direct3D12](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/direct3d12/directx-12-programming-guide), [XInput](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/xinput/getting-started-with-xinput), [XAudio2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/xaudio2/xaudio2-introduction) and [X3DAudio](https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/windows/win32/xaudio2/x3daudio).

This project was born as [SharpDX](https://github.com/sharpdx/SharpDX) has recently gone inactive and the aim is to have a .NET Standard 2.0 API and usage
of modern stuff like Unsafe and SharpGen.Runtime.

The API may change between releases, make sure to take look at [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/amerkoleci/Vortice.Windows/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)

Library development, contributions and bugfixes by:

- Amer Koleci

SharpDX bindings where used for some platforms to understand how mapping works using SharpGenTools.

## Build

In order to compile, make sure **no spaces** are present in the solution path otherwise SharpGen will fail to generate bindings.
Also, you need to install **Visual Studio 2019** with the following components:

- [x] Visual C++ Toolset Component
- [x] Windows 10 - 2004 SDK (10.0.19041.0) Component
- [x] .NET Core SDK

## Download

All packages are available as NuGet packages: [![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Vortice.Runtime.COM.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Tags%3A%22Vortice.Windows%22)

Nightly packages can be downloaded from NuGet as well.
