Using SharpDX 2.6.3 under Windows 10

I recently updated my machine from Windows 8 to Windows 10. Since then, I get a NullReferenceException in SharpDX.Toolkit.Game.dll when I call

this.game.Run(context)

Where game inherits from SharpDX.Toolkit.Game and context is a SharpDX.Toolkit.GameContext with a ContextType of DesktopWpf.

On the SharpDX Homepage I could not find any information about migrating projects to Windows 10.

Before upgrading, everything worked fine. Do I need to tweak any special setting? Or do I need to upgrade to SharpDX 3.0.0, which is still alpha?

Edit: The exception is not raised in my code, but in the code of SharpDX - just to make it clear.

Solution

  • I just found the solution: After upgrading Windows from 8.1 to 10, you need to upgrade your Windows SDK as well by installing the Windows 10 SDK.

    The Windows 10 SDK can be downloaded here.
