SlimDX instead of DirectX

Post by alexvazquez » Mon Sep 20, 2010 8:32 pm

Hi,

I was trying to compile the app in VS2010 instead of x86 to Any CPU and i get the classic error that the app is not a valid win32 application and this is because Managed DirectX does not support 64 bit. There is a another great framework named SlimDX that supports 64bit and also .net 4.0 binaries.

Does anyone have created any ToothChart wrapper for SlimDX? It says is compatible with the Directx API but i tried to change the reference and i get some error that i dont know how to fix.

If someone know how can I run this under Any CPU building I will appreciate so much.

Thanks a lot,

Alex

There are other reasons for needing to compile it for 32 bit. There are plenty of other 32 bit dlls that OD depends on. There is no advantage to compiling for 64 bit. Compiling it as a 32 bit program makes it run just fine on 64 bit Window. So what's the problem?
