I want to program using Direct3D in C#.
I need to be able to build the program on a system in which I cannot install the SDK.

Is it possible to build programs by putting the required .dll's .lib's .h and .c files in the project directory?

If you want to use C# and Direct3D you have to use XNA (which is a framework, based on Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, that allow you to create DirectX games).

Or you can use SlimDX or SharpDX, which are thin managed wrappers over C++ DirectX interfaces. No need to install anything, just copy assemblies to your project directory and use them.

Yes, that's what installing the SDK does.

If you want to use C# and Direct3D you have to use XNA

There's alternatives to XNA, like writing your own C++ glue layer, or using an existing one like SlimDX.
