While porting some animation code to use the Toolkit's SkinnedEffect i've run into access violations, which may be a bug in EffectParameter. The issue can be reproduces by simply initializing a new instance of SkinnedEffect.

As far as i can tell, this is caused by EffectParameter.SetValue's matrix array overloads advancing in 64-byte stides per element, instead of RowCount*ColumnCount, which doesn't match SkinnedEffect's float4x3-bone matrices and other packed matix arrays.

Having better docs on SharpGen and SharpCli would help others to extend SharpDX or use the tech to speedup other stuff than DirectX too.

I know writing documentation is not as much fun than coding. But it will help others to help you.

The handling of the size of the backbuffer and resize events seems to be broken on this platform.

The size of the backbuffer is first determined at Game class initialization time. This size is used to create the backbuffer and swapchain (originally 800x480). But whenever there is a size changed on the SwapChainBackgroundPanel, It will resize the swapchain with the size of the screen.

How should we handle this?

SpriteFont.Spacing property doesn't work. I didn't find any references to Spacing property inside SpriteFont source code. Test project is available here: http://sdrv.ms/12YLpDh

RenderTarget.DrawText() behaves correctly for DrawTextOptions.None and DrawTextOptions.Clip, but not for DrawTextOptions.NoSnap. As far as I can tell, NoSnap behaves identically to None.

Here's a modification of TextRenderingApp from SharpDXSamples comparing the behavior of None and NoSnap. Just copy-paste the whole thing into Direct2D1\TextRenderingApp\Program.cs and run.

https://gist.github.com/shoelzer/5880151

I expected the NoSnap text (on the right) to animate smoothy, but lines of text clearly jump from one pixel to the next.

Running into a peculiar issue. I just ported a substantial Direct2D project from MS API Code Pack to SharpDX. Part of the functionality involves copying very large bitmaps from memory (several times). The code is rather simple... The source of the bitmap is always System.Drawing.Bitmap and the destination is a BitmapRenderTarget. The code below works correctly, BUT... Each successive call to CopyFromMemory() is slower than the previous (serious performance degradation). This is strange... especially since SharpDX is almost always twice as fast as MS API Code Pack for all other CPU timings I have done.. CopyFromMemory() appears to be an exception to this rule.

I've reviewed the code in your library and see no issues. Any ideas?
The source code logic is basically the following lines.

using Drawing = System.Drawing;
...
Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData SourceBitmapData = SourceBitmap.LockBits(new Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, SourceBitmap.Width, SourceBitmap.Height), Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);
BitmapRenderTarget_SurfaceV[DestinationSurfaceID]).Bitmap.CopyFromMemory(SourceBitmapData.Scan0, SourceBitmapData.Stride);
SourceBitmap.UnlockBits(SourceBitmapData);

App resuming results in a null reference exception at the SharpDX.DataBox.MapSubresource function. This issue is only present if a model is used (loaded via the toolkit in my case).

I created a simple motion blur effect using two rendertargets in the toolkit. The result was great on desktop, but on WP8, it turned out to be always the starting cube with a bit of blinking pinkiness.

It seems to me that changing rendertargets doesn't work as expected.

I trying to decode frame. for this I need to get pointer to start of buffer using VideoContext.GetDecoderBuffer method, but last argument is not marked as "out".

The issue discussion is started on the forum:
http://www.sharpdx.org/forum/5-api-usage/3337-dxgi-keyedmutex-acquire-cannot-check-for-wait-abandoned-and-wait-timeout

In current implementation it is not possible to check for WAIT_ABANDONED and WAIT_TIMEOUT results as specified in documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff471339%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

when using the BMFont renderer, glyphs arent correctly positioned, neither horizontally nor vertically.

when zooming in, you can see there is a 2px difference between 'hl' and 'en'

Hi

i'm new to using Microsoft media foundation. I noticed this sample which I found quite intriguing for WP8.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj207074(v=vs.105).aspx

I noticed there is a SHarpDX.MediaFoundation library, can this be used for WP* as well to create the equivalent of this project.

I have been using and exploring media player framework although this project is quite good I found it does not give me a frame by frame capability i.e. save all frames locally on WP8 whilst Video is playing. More like a frame grabber.

my approach is if I can send the texture rendered in the WINRT project above to a cuberender in SharpDX then I can create bitmaps from the rendered textured videos. Is this possible?

Pls advice??

Drawing a rubik's cube from 27 blocks (each block is a model) results in the following picture:

http://kepfeltoltes.hu/130315/wp_ss_20130315_0001_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.png

This was not a problem on desktop, only on WP8.

http://code.google.com/p/sharpdx/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20Opened%20Modified&groupby=&sort=&id=300

In XNA, it was useful to be able to be able to temporarily change the render target and depth buffer, and then revert back to the original render target and depth buffer:

RenderTargetBinding[] renderTargets = GraphicsDevice.GetRenderTargets();

// Change render target and / or depth buffer here

GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTargets(renderTargets);

I don't think this is currently possible in SharpDX Toolkit?

On a related note, is there a reason why this method:

void GetRenderTargets(int numViews, RenderTargetView[] renderTargetViewsOut, out DepthStencilView depthStencilViewOut)

isn't exposed publicly on SharpDX.Direct3D11.OutputMergerStage?

I'm happy to provide a pull request for this - I just wanted to get your input first.

    IsMouseVisible = true;

has to be delayed to LoadContent() in order to work.

i actually expected it to work if i set it right at the beginning of my Game's constructor

I use a pointermanager to handle touch on my Lumia 920. PointerPoint positions are given just like there screen resolution were 480x800 (so bottom right corner is 480, 800), even if it is 1280x768.

Like title says, no DepthStencilBuffer is created when using a SharpDXElement from toolkit.

my SharpDX app makes use of several GameSystems and GameWindowRenderers almost exactly like it is done in the MultiWindow.Desktop sample.

since a few days this seems broken, since the individual windows cant be accessed correctly anymore like regular windows.

maximizing, minimizing, resizing, moving doesnt work anymore.

i am always using the latest dev build 2.5.0

i believe that MeasureString of the tkfont created fonts is reporting an incorrect stringwidth.

if you look at this screenshot you can see that it adds some space to the beginning of the text.

this makes it impossible to center text correctly.

this problem does not occur with fonts created with BMFont.

here is the sample project that creates above image
http://deviantsart.com/upload/3dq3r88.zip

It seems that the DataStream class is used to 'marshal' both the concept of a fixed size memory block, and reading from / writing to such a block at a 'current' position.

For multi-threaded applications this is annoying, since if one just deals with a fixed size memory block (i.e. see the custom font sample), one must use locking.

Instead it might be helpful to split up the DataStream into a fixed size DataBlock, and DataReader, DataWriter and DataStream helper classes that read from such a block. Or if this is too much runtime overhead or work, it might be useful to refactor DataStream such that is derives from DataBlock.

SharpDX.Toolkit.Graphics.GraphicsResource.GetCpu-t-AccessFlagsFromUsage

When trying any of the SharpDXToolkitSamples on a Surface RT, I get the following exception:

 An exception of type 'SharpDX.SharpDXException' occurred in SharpDX.DLL but was not handled in user code
 Additional information: HRESULT: [0x80070057], Module: [Unknown], ApiCode: [Unknown/Unknown], Message: The parameter is incorrect.

The download page http://sharpdx.org/download/ still points to google code, rather than the new location: https://github.com/sharpdx/SharpDX.git

The GUIDs for Media Foundation service identifiers don't seem to be included in the mappings...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms695350(v=vs.85).aspx

For example MR_POLICY_VOLUME_SERVICE which is used to get the IMFSimpleAudioVolume interface for controlling the volume of a MediaSession.

Looks like IMFAsyncCallback is incorrectly bound:

http://sharpdx.org/documentation/api/t-sharpdx-mediafoundation-asynccallback

It needs to allow for us to derive a class from AsyncCallback in C# in which we can overload both Invoke() and GetParameters() for receiving events from a MediaSession.

When trying to create a new MediaEngine with attributes other than None, I receive this exception.
I found it to be hard to debug (I get many different stack traces) but it seems that MediaFactory's MFStartup fails.

This is currently one of the top reasons MonoGame doesn't work on WP8. Is there any trick to set up the references? I could only add the winmd as reference, but not the SharpDX.WP8.dll.

I attached a SharpDXElement to a Grid.row that has Height set to '*' (proportional sizing) and I set HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment to Stretch on the SharpDXElement and it does not re-size automatically when window is re-sized.

RectangleF has a problem due to it being derived from a windows drawing space .. when using it (in a traditional cartesian sense) it records negative heights, and it's X is bound to the top. A cartesian rectangle I would think does not have a position.

I can understand that because it is derived from drawing rectangle that we might be stuck with it, but if Rectangle is going to stand on it's own as a SharpDX geometric object then I would suggest it should be changed to be conventional and have positive height.

PS. I am using 2.4.2

EffectPass class is missing the following functions(properties) :

SharpDX.Direct3D11.EffectPass.DomainShaderDescription
SharpDX.Direct3D11.EffectPass.HullShaderDescription
SharpDX.Direct3D11.EffectPass.ComputeShaderDescription

(this is issue #305 in google )

When the FPS seems to drop below 60 parts of the scene starts flickering.
Here's a small project that demonstrates this. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12956829/TestProject.zip

I'm looking for MFCreateMediaSession, as documented here
http://sharpdx.org/documentation/api/m-sharpdx-mediafoundation-mediafactory-createmediasession

But I can't find it in MediaFactory in dll SharpDX.MediaFoundation v.2.4.2 from NuGet.

So I've been having all sorts of trouble building SharpDX lately.

What SDKs need to be installed? Do we need to install the old June 2010 DX SDK? Or should we use the Windows SDK that is part of Windows 8? How does DXSDK_DIR get defined if so and where should it point to?

Does MakeSharpDX.cmd have any other dependencies that I would need other than the obvious ones like DX, VS2012, WP8 SDK, etc?

I have published a very simple WP8 app based on SharpDX Toolkit and I'm receiving lots of crash reports (at a rate of a hundred a day) with the same error. The app itself doesn't have any crashes, so I believe it might be a SharpDX thing on app launch or close. More info here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpdevelop/thread/25956546-0d44-4562-b95c-c005125cbecc

The content manager resets the stream position for each attempted asset load. This will obviously fail for streams that cannot seek, such as streams to zip file entries. I suggest a change so that if the provided stream cannot seek, then its contents are read entirely into memory so a seekable memory stream can be created from it.

I'm not sure of the performance implications of a large buffer other than possibly being placed in the large object heap. For this I suggest allowing a fixed buffer size to be specified for the content manager. This buffer can then be a allocated and reused for all subsequently used non-seeking streams if desired. If a fixed buffer size isn't specified, then simply create and fill a resizable memory stream in each case.

DataStream.WriteRange has:

I believe it should be:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert((_position + count) <= _size);

Following this discussion: http://www.sharpdx.org/forum/4-general/3314-deferred-rendering-with-toolkit?start=10#3801

If I build SharpDX for some platform using the VS solution, I end up with assemblies in a dozen different bin folders. What is the best way to gather all the right assemblies into a single folder for deployment to a project?

Hi xoof ! Please explain me - What doing this assembly ? And how to use it ?

After my application has been running for a while ( 3 hours) it suddenly crashes here:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at SharpDX.Interop.memcpy(Void* pDest, Void* pSrc, Int32 count)
at SharpDX.Toolkit.Graphics.Buffer.SetData(GraphicsDevice device, DataPointer fromData, Int32 offsetInBytes, SetDataOptions options)
at SharpDX.Toolkit.Graphics.EffectPass.ApplyInternal()
at SharpDX.Toolkit.Graphics.EffectPass.Apply()
at SharpDX.Toolkit.Graphics.SpriteBatch.PrepareForRendering()
at SharpDX.Toolkit.Graphics.SpriteBatch.End()

Let me know if you need any more information.

Add support to draw geometric primitives:

• Cube
• Sphere
• GeoSphere
• Cylinder
• Torus
• Teapot

Code can be ported from GeometricPrimitive.cpp from DirectXtk (http://directxtk.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/26925#250838)

I have a multi-monitor desktop application and when it starts up it should automatically switch to fullscreen mode on a specific monitor. ideally via a System.Windows.Forms.Screen

related thread: http://sharpdx.org/forum/5-api-usage/3156-toolkit-how-to-switch-to-specific-fullscreen-mode

When using the SharpDXElement to display a fairly large 3d world and my fps takes a dip, the keyboard and mouse input responsiveness suffer a lot more and unproportional to the FPS. Input latency starts being noticed whenever the FPS drops below around 40 FPS and at about 12-15 FPS it feels as if FPS is around 0.5-1. When I get keyboard and mouse status via win32 methods I don't have this issue. Also UI input elements suffer the same fate.

It feels as if core issue is with the event dispatcher, possibly ignoring some events.
I run same project in a winform, same FPS and input doesn't suffer like in WPF.

Controller.IsConnected calls XInputGetState(...), and examines the error code to determine if the controller is connected. Controller.GetState() also calls XInputGetState(...) to retrieve the controller state (or throws an exception if it is disconnected). It's (theoretically) possible that Controller.GetState() throws an exception even after Controller.IsConnected returns true. Suggestion: Return isConnected as an output variable to Controller.GetState().

It seems that most FBX models that you can get from XNA samples don't compile with ToolkitModel.

I get this for each one:

[code type=csharp]
Unexpected exception while converting ... Model.fbx : Assimp.AssimpException: Error importing file: FBX-DOM (TOK_KEY, line 113, col 10) encountered object with implicitly defined id 0
[/code]

I tried open each one in Visual Studio, make a needless edit (remove all animation or slight scale) and save. The model then compiles but rendered incorrectly (everything looks like a random pile of vertices all over the screen).

Would it be possible to get this diagnostic feature into a future release of SharpDX:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh780905.aspx

For some reason, the code generator does not seem to generate any code for this DirectX11.1 method (it does generate many other methods for the FontFace1 interface)?

Hi all, yesterday I was experimenting with D2D's vertex shader. According to this MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj710194(v=vs.85).aspx, during the call to SetVertexProcessing, if you pass a null vertexBuffer then:

If no vertex buffer is specified by the transform, Direct2D passes a default vertex buffer representing the rectangular image location.

However, my code fails after the call to EndDraw giving this error message:

D2D DEBUG WARNING - A Draw call by a render target failed [80070057]. Tags [0x0, 0x0].
A first chance exception of type 'SharpDX.SharpDXException' occurred in SharpDX.dll
An unhandled exception of type 'SharpDX.SharpDXException' occurred in SharpDX.dll
Additional information: HRESULT: [0x80070057], Module: [SharpDX.WIC], ApiCode: [WINCODEC_ERR_INVALIDPARAMETER/InvalidParameter], Message: The parameter is incorrect.

If the code is run in a desktop application with a D3D device then this also appears:

D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11Device::CreateInputLayout: The provided input signature expects to read an element with SemanticName/Index: 'OUTPUT_SCENE_POSITION'/0, but the declaration doesn't provide a matching name. [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #163: CREATEINPUTLAYOUT_MISSINGELEMENT]

where Ouput_etc. is the semantic name found in the shader and the default name that the MSDN article says Direct2D should pass. However it seems that the InputLayout provides a different name.

A simple workaround is passing a vertexbuffer containing two "handmade" triangles for the full screen quad, but I was curious to understand why it isn't working that way.
