I have an old application for playing video that uses DirectX and I would like to update it and prevent the "error" of Loader lock among other things.
Can I ask what are the basic steps for converting the application? What do I have to pay special attention to?
Currently I have references in the project that point to local DLL files that I have added to a local folder. This is not a good approach and another reason for this question.
Microsoft.DirectX
Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput
You'll need to change the namespaces to the SlimDx namespaces. At that point, you'll have to migrate some code, as some of the names are different in SlimDx vs. Managed DirectX.
That being said, the basic API calls for DirectX 9 are very similar, so the migration is not too bad once you get going.
