[gameprogrammer] Re: directx and managed directx

["Kevin Fields" <drunkendruid@hotmail.com>]

Managed DirectX is quite nice to work with.
If you're more comfortable working with C# than C++, then go ahead and use 
C# and MDX. Microsoft is in the process of creating XNA, which will allow 
game developers to create games using any language that uses the Common 
Library Runtime (CLR). This includes any of the .NET languages.

Also, don't worry about performance issues with Managed DirectX. If used 
efficiently, you can push some decent performance out of C# and MDX.
