2D Graphic API

mabye SDL

it's free and easy to user?

SFML is a more modern and uptodate choice than SDL. It's as easy to use as SDL.

SFML is natively in C++ and takes an object-oriented approach.

If you're using C# there's also Direct2D for XNA and SFML.Net (which is just the C#, .NET version of SFML).

I want to use it with windows forms.
I was asking for an easy because i never done nothing with 2D graphics except with the windows graphics class

i recomend you use http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/
so easy to learn ..

Here's a quick tutorial for using Direct2D and WPF/Winforms.

Any 3D API is also a fully capable 2D API, as 2D is nothing more than a special case of 3D. So if you already know a 3D API you may be better off sticking with it.

Hmm i don't know nothing about 3D or 2D API's
As i told i only had done polygons and images movements with the system drawing graphics of windows forms default applications


I was trying to download the Direct2D API but i can't install it, Windows 7 @64bits

Just because in add reference i don't have Microsoft.Directx component to import.

Any help i appreciate.

And thanks for the help already ;)

EDIT:
I didn't understood the sdl it works like a video player?

Question,

The SDL only works in new forms? ican't embeb that in a windows form?

EDIT:

Still no reference to add for Microsoft.Directx @ Visual Studio

i will take a look to slimdx is it good?
