Code Example

XAML

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication5.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        mc:Ignorable="d"
        xmlns:DXExtensions="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Wpf.Interop.DirectX;assembly=Microsoft.Wpf.Interop.DirectX"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Image>
            <Image.Source>
                <DXExtensions:D3D11Image  x:Name="InteropImage"/>
            </Image.Source>
        </Image>
    </Grid>
</Window>
