SlimDX has had Direct3D 10 support for a long time, and it’s almost certainly the single best way to get 10 support from C# or any other .NET language. While it’s true that the very original prototype didn’t plan on it, that was over two years ago and it’s very much a first class citizen.

That’s unusual in this industry.
