DirectX SDK (June 2010)

This is a snap of the original sample as shipped in the legacy DirectX SDK (June 2010). This is here for use only as a base-line as it still requires the legacy DirectX SDK installed to build.

This release is only here for reference. Use of this release is not recommended.
