You can find bindings for DX 9 & 10 as part of the Win32 API bindings at [1]. Some work was done on a DX 11 binding for the Aurora graphics project [2], but I don't know how complete it is. If you need DX 11, though, it should serve as a good starting point.

When I was young and being on a network meant a BBS, the usual reply was "RTFM". I guess the modern age version of "RTFM" is to dump a URL:

http://dlang.org/cpp_interface

Unforunately, dlang.org lacks a proper C++ binding tutorial, so I guess this "RTFM" might turn into a "WTF! WTFM!".

So lets get this straight...

1. I reply to you for maybe the third time and you think I am your own personal fan club.
2. You are proud to draw the attention of old men because it's "fun" to listen to them moan.
3. You enjoy collecting perverts.

I'm almost too embarrassed to troll someone who seems unable to shoot anything but his own foot.

*almost* :-)

You keep taking the bait.

When you have self professed fantasies about collecting dirty old men you will probably start imagining them everywhere you go.

"shitting their own pants"

Your wit knows no bounds.
