There is a collection of samples available [Vortice.Windows.Samples](https://github.com/amerkoleci/Vortice.Windows.Samples)

## Credits

Library development, contributions and bugfixes by:

- Amer Koleci

- Aaron Sun (DirectML)

[SharpDX](https://github.com/sharpdx/SharpDX) bindings were used for some platforms to understand how mapping works using SharpGenTools.

## Build

In order to compile, make sure **no spaces** are present in the solution path otherwise SharpGen will fail to generate bindings.

Also, you need to install **Visual Studio 2022** with the following components:

- [x] Visual C++ Toolset Component

- [x] Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0)

- [x] .NET 8 SDK
