I have a couple of questions about C#.
1. Can I use DirectX with C#?
2. Is C# as easy as Visual Basic?

If you''re going to use DirectX, might as well go with C/C++. C# looks like warped C++ to me, so it''s probably not as easy as VB (I don''t like C#, so take what I say with a grain of salt ).

1. Can I use DirectX with C#
Should be, since C# comes with .NET and I think the langs in Visual Studios.NET share a common library. Also Direct X is made by Microsoft. Visual Basic is made by MS. C# is "made" by MS. Visual Basic can do DX. Come on, follow the (bouncing) logic (ball).
2. Is C# as easy as Visual Basic?
I'd say no. It's essentially the MS version of Java. C# is what MS wanted to do with Java, but couldn't because of those bloody legally binding contracts. If you've seen Java, you know C# is not easier than VB, despite the claim that Java is a RAD lang.

1. Can I use DirectX with C#?
yes, but because C# isn''t going to be as fast as C++ it probably won''t be fast enough for games. It might be though, let''s hope.
2. Is C# as easy as Visual Basic?
I don''t know VB, however C# looks like a very easy language to pick up. From what I''ve seen it looks like a very good language though it needs templates. Of course as game programmers we''ll probably not be able to use it and C++ will live forever.

You can use DX with C#. As a matter of fact some of the .NET framework Interop samples are in C#/DirectX.
If you already know Basic (VB, et al) then VB.NET would be the logical upgrade path. If you know C++ then C# would be the RAD compiler you''d want to use. Although, most of the .NET SDK help was in C#, I didn''t have a problem "converting" it to VB.net at all. Mostly just small syntax changes...but these were simple samples.
Be sure to download Beta 2 before you start to dev...since a lot has changed since Beta 1.
