Managed DirectX MDX is an API to DirectX programming under Microsoft .NET .NET developed by Microsoft . MDX can be used from any language under the .NET runtime thanks to the Common Language Runtime CLR . MDX can be used to develop multimedia and interactive applications e.g. games . Enabling high performance graphical representation and enabling the programmer to make use of modern graphical hardware while working inside the .NET framework. Managed DirectX was first released in 2002 to allow less complicated access to the DirectX API through the .NET framework. The Managed DirectX SDK allows developers access to numerous classes which allow the rendering of 3D graphics Direct3D and the other DirectX API s in a much easier, object oriented manner. MDX did not however support the newer APIs such as Direct3D Direct3D 10 , XInput , and XAudio 2 . MDX is currently deprecated in favour of Microsoft XNA XNA Game Studio Express , however more direct successor are the open source SlimDX and SharpDX project. Versions MDX 1.1 This is the first version available and is currently stable. Active development no longer takes place in MDX 1.1 Can be used under .NET Framework versions 1.1 and 2.0 Provides an object oriented API that implements functionality very similar to DirectX 9 MDX 2.0 Canceled while still in beta and no longer available. MDX 2.0 has been replaced by Microsoft XNA . The API differs from MDX 1.1 in a number of places.

Unreferenced date January 2009 DirectDraw is part of Microsoft s DirectX application programming interface API . DirectDraw is used to Rendering computer graphics render Computer graphics graphics in applications where top performance is important. DirectDraw also allows applications to run fullscreen or embedded in a window such as most other MS Windows applications. DirectDraw uses hardware acceleration if it is available on the client s computer . DirectDraw allows direct access to video memory , hardware overlay s, hardware bit blit blitters , and Double buffering page flipping . Its video memory manager can manipulate video memory with ease, taking full advantage of the bit blit blitting and color decompression capabilities of different types of video card display adapters . DirectDraw is a 2D computer graphics 2D API. That is, it contains commands for 2D rendering and does not support 3D computer graphics 3D hardware acceleration. A programmer could use DirectDraw to draw 3D graphics, but the rendering would be slow compared to an API such as Direct3D which does support 3D hardware acceleration. As of DirectX version 8.0, DirectDraw was merged into a new package called DirectX Graphics , which is really just Direct3D with a few DirectDraw API additions. DirectDraw can still be used by programmers, but they must use older DirectX interfaces DirectX 7 and below . DirectDraw has been deprecated since version 7 but is still included with DirectX, although updates are no longer made. Developers have been instructed to use textured quads in Direct3D for 2D graphics. Managed DirectX includes a managed wrapper for DirectDraw. DirectDraw is now replaced by Direct2D .

It is possible to eliminate unneeded data from going through the rendering pipeline to cut out extraneous work called view volume clipping and backface culling .
