If you're looking for a DX managed library for .NET, there is no official
one for framework 1.0 (the framework that VS 2002 ships with).
DX SDK 9.0 has a managed .NET library, but it's designed for framework 1.1
(VS 2003) only.
That doesn't mean you *can't* use DX from VS 2002, but you will have to
write the COM interop code wrappers yourself, and it's not pretty (DX has a
LOT of classes/interfaces). I started writing an interop wrapper in 1.0 for
DX, but only got as far as DirectDraw (2d) and partial Direct3D in DX 8.0,
but 9.0 launched a few months later, so that project never finished. A last
alternative is to use the VB6 DX 8.0 COM library (add to your C# project
references), but because of how it's structred to use automation data types,
you will find that some things don't work as expected when controlled from
C#, and some don't work at all.
