SlimDX is a managed library which allows .NET applications to use Microsoft DirectX APIs, as well as several related Microsoft APIs that share similar goals. This role was previously filled for .NET 1.1 applications by Microsoft's own Managed DirectX (MDX) library. However, the age of .NET 1.1, plus Microsoft's lack of interest in continuing MDX has made it necessary to build a new library. Thanks to enthusiastic community support and the invaluable contributions of several other developers who have worked on and with SlimDX, the library has made immense strides towards being a fully viable platform on which to build DirectX based applications. SlimDX is no longer a beta and is considered stable!
