I'm considering the use of SlimDX in a managed Windows Forms Application. Available with DirectX is DXUT. I use DXUT to handle events such as window resizing and 'lost devices.'
How well does SlimDX account for these occurrences? If I were to use SlimDX, how would I account for the functionality of DXUT in managed code?
SlimDX is a lightweight wrapper around DirectX APIs, and DXUT isn't a core DirectX API. Thus, SlimDX doesn't wrap it.
If you want to deal with window management, resizing, et cetera, you have to do that yourself using the Windows Forms API. When your form handles a resize event, you may need to deal with resizing your back buffer or viewport, depending on your specific needs.
Note that "lost device" scenarios are not something core to DXUT, they are an aspect of Direct3D 9 and are perfectly supported by SlimDX in basically exactly the same way you'd handle them natively.
