SlimDX is an open source, free framework to allow developers to easily build DirectX applications using .NET technologies such as C#, VB.NET, and IronPython. It is designed to be an efficient, simple, and lean wrapper. All of the code is under the MIT/X11 license, and is under active development, unlike the official Microsoft wrapper. We are also actively looking for contributors.

Please note that while SlimDX is similar to Managed DirectX, it is NOT intended to be the same API.
