Hi, I haven't worked with DX10 since I don't have Vista but someone told me that starting with DX10 Microsoft is moving the API to the .NET framework and is taking C++ out as the programming language in favor of C#. I've searched the net but haven't found anything regarding a programming language switch for DirectX. Can someone let me know whether C++ will still be valid for DX moving forward? Thanks.

That's total nonsense. C++ is the only officially supported language for DX10, there is no official managed version of DX10.

C++ is still the primary development language for DirectX. In the case of Direct3D 10 it is even the only language that is official supported. OK there is as always some kind of native C binding but I am not even sure if it works at all.
