SlimDXControl released

[Michael P. Gerlek]

SlimDX folks:

[I'm posting this here at Promit's suggestion]

I am the original author of the WPF / D3DImage example included with the
SlimDX distro, and since the subject comes up on a regular basis in various
forums I thought I'd let you folks know that I've gone ahead and created a
new version of this package.

Taking the idea of a more reusable WPF model from my D3D9 example, and
combining it with the D3D10 example also in the SlimDX distro, I've created
a new WPF class called SlimDXControl and released it on codeplex
(slimdxcontrol.codeplex.com). While I don't want to detract from anything
in SlimDX at all, of course, my goal is to have this class become the de
facto solution for people trying to navigate the complexities of D3DImage,
and so in some sense it supersedes the SlimDX example code. I hope no one
minds. There are just too many half-working examples out there, none really
being suitable for drop-in WPF usage (much less being maintained).

The copyrights and credits are not clear for this work. I don't know who
did the D3D10 example, but it is likely derived from various blog posts.
I'm very sensitive to this issue, so if you need or want credit for your
work, please just let me know. SlimDXControl is released under a BSD
license, so I don't expect any issues with that.

And, of course, if you want to exercise SlimDXControl and find any bugs, I'd
be happy to fix them!

Thanks -

No, this is good. I'd much rather someone with experience in the area take over ownership of the WPF interop stuff, since even the samples we DO have often have inexplicable bugs reported in them, in particular the D3D10 stuff, and I have no inclination to go tracking them down. If you're going to be supporting this actively, I have no problem dropping the WPF samples in the next release and just pointing them to you.
