The Summary pane has a new Direct3D Information section, that shows details about what Direct3D capabilities are present on the computer. This change makes legacy data-type names equivalent to the new version-less data-type names. Therefore, you can use either legacy or version-less names. However, your code will be cleaner and easier to maintain if you use the version-less names.

Therefore, you are no longer required to use D3d New intrinsic functions have been added for better debugging support. Left-Hand-Side typecasting is now illegal and will cause a compile error.

Documentation Enhancements The June DirectX SDK includes the following documentation enhancements: Added links to descriptions of data types for parameters and return values to help developers locate related types.

To import content to your local computer for viewing in offline mode, select "Install Content from online" in Help Library Manager. To remove imported content from your local computer, select "Remove content" in Help Library Manager.
