DirectX SDKs - where have the c# sources gone?

[simonl]

I wanted to have a go at following a directx / csharp tutorial (msdn
blogs - http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/arc...02/938703.aspx)

I got the latest SDK, March 2008. It has no C# sources at all. What's
the deal there? Do I have to go back in time to get the ones
referenced (Feb - October 2005)?

XNA replaced the the previous technology. You have a choice of downloading
XNA 2.0, if you have Visual Studio 2005 or XNA 1.0 for the express edition.

Oh I see. Presumably C# still supports the DX technologies? eg I've
used DX in a non-game application before now.

I believe the Aug 07 DX SDK has what you want. That's the one I'm
using with C# for DirectInput. I like the XNA stuff. I just sure wish
interop with GDI+ / Winforms and WPF would have been on their minds.
