README
Vortice.Windows
Vortice.Windows is a collection of Win32 and UWP libraries with bindings support for DXGI, WIC, DirectWrite, Direct2D, Direct3D9, Direct3D11, Direct3D12, XInput, XAudio2 and X3DAudio.
This project was born as 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
