I'm using SlimDX to render 2D in C#. I am having issues getting Direct2D setup. I can't find any examples. The SlimDX examples aren't clear (just one I could find, http://code.google.com/p/slimdx/source/browse/trunk/samples/Direct2D/SimpleTriangle2D/SimpleTriangle2D.cs)

What is the proper way to render 2D with Direct2D? For now I am going to use sprites in DX9, but I would like to run a D2D system to see if it is faster.

*Any* examples are great. I've tried copying C++ examples with no luck.
Thanks!

Is Direct2D actually designed for creating a game? Right now I'm using D3D Sprites, it's fast, but I want to switch to D2D.

I know Direct2D is supposed to be like an accelerated version of GDI, but is it meant to be used in creating 2D games?
