Hello,

I am not a profi programmer in DirectX neither in SharpDX. Unfortunately, I need to create a small programm, enabling me to draw a simple line graphics in 3D - moving figure, zoom, and move camera. Can anyone recommend me suitable forum ?

Yes, I have several small problems. Yes I am looking for help. For example right now I do not how to depict a triangle. SharpDX is nice. I do nto believe, that it is necessarry to have a deep knowledge of DirectX, best before a man begin to deal with SharpDX, but what anyone need is a good manual. I think, SharpDX has a great future, supposing, that it will be used by broad-spectrum of programmers. XNA is dead. A lot of people seeking for a tool enabling fast development for simple games or general graphics in 2D or 3D. For example for non-game applications or for research. I wish, something like public forum was in here. I believe, that it is not necessary a forum had a manager. It is a pitty, that SharpDX forum was cloased and abandoned. Almost it look like SharpDX is destined to extinction in advance. Now we have 2014 year, in several years in time, a tablets or a mobile phones will become to be more powerful and common DirectX interface will be useful for them. I do not believe, that manager type of programming (or) CLI/CLS will expire early. It is future.

And, finally, here is my code http://1drv.ms/1jkL2Py. Can someone take a look at it. Please. :-)

Our spare time is very limited so we cannot afford to dig into your usecase (we are sometimes providing paid support for this kind of request)

DirectX is a low level API, so SharpDX is. So you absolutely need to have some knowledge of DirectX even just to display a triangle.

Application that requires 3D rendering will often tend to use higher level API (like MonoGame, Unity...etc.) because as you are discovering, it is often too difficult to manage the low-level details of 3D API.

That being said, if you are using the Toolkit, it is coming with PrimitiveBatch ported from DirectXTk that can help to draw lines.

If you are looking for some help, try to use gamedev forum for example (as It has been said, mainly for raw Direct3D11, but not for the Toolkit). So you will need to translate from Direct3D11 C++ to SharpDX Direct3D11 C#.

I do not understand, why SharpDX is free.
I understant, that people work for money only.

There are things that people is doing just for fun. I like graphics programming and I am doing it as a hobby - so I decided to combine what I like to do with something useful for others ;)
