The DIRECT3D attributes sample creates a control that draws a spinning triangle using the Direct3D graphics library.

The DIRECT3D sample is the nonattributed version of this sample.

Security Note
This sample code is provided to illustrate a concept and should not be used in applications or Web sites, as it may not illustrate the safest coding practices.

# Building and Running the Sample

#### To build and run this sample

1. Note: You must have the Direct3D SDK installed in order to build this sample.

2. Open the solution file Direct3D.sln.

3. From the Build menu, click Build Solution.
