Silk.NET Logo

Silk.NET is your one-stop-shop for high-speed .NET multimedia, graphics, and compute; providing bindings to popular low-level APIs such as OpenGL, OpenCL, OpenAL, OpenXR, GLFW, SDL, Vulkan, Assimp, and DirectX.

Use Silk.NET to spruce up applications with cross-platform 3D graphics, audio, compute and haptics!

Silk.NET works on any .NET Standard 2.0 compliant platform, including .NET 6.0, Xamarin, .NET Framework 4.6.1+, and .NET Core 2.0+.

.NET Foundation

Proud to be an official project under the benevolent .NET Foundation umbrella.

About This Package

This package contains bindings for the low-level, high-throughput Vulkan graphics and compute API.

Features

Performance

Having poured lots of hours into examining generated C# code and its JIT assembly, you can count on us to deliver blazing fast bindings with negligible overhead induced by Silk.NET!

Up-to-date

With an efficient bindings regeneration mechanism, we are committed to ensuring our bindings reflect the latest specifications with frequent updates generated straight from the upstream sources.

High-level utilities

In addition to providing high-speed, direct, and transparent bindings, we provide high-level utilities and wrappers to maximise productivity in common workloads such as platform-agnostic abstractions around Windowing and Input, bringing your apps to a vast number of platforms without changing a single line!

Good-to-go

Silk.NET caters for anything you could need in swift development of multimedia, graphics, compute applications. Silk.NET is an all-in-one solution, complete with Graphics, Compute, Audio, Input, and Windowing.

Funding

Silk.NET requires significant effort to maintain, as such we greatly appreciate any financial support you are able to provide!

This helps ensure Silk.NET's long term viability, and to help support the developers who maintain Silk.NET in their free time. Kai is accepting GitHub Sponsorships.

Silk.NET Summer 2022 Update 1

           - Massive project-wide bindings overhaul, making our bindings easier to use and higher quality than before.
           - Added grouped OpenCL enums. (thanks @Alexx999)
           - Added support for creation of contexts with versions prior to OpenGL 3.2. (thanks @Beyley)
           - Added support for multiple ImGuiControllers. (thanks @Beyley)
           - Added support for single-file mode. (thanks @kant2002)
           - Added shorter names in enums used in bindings.
           - Added AspectRatioEstimate API to VideoMode. (thanks @ohtrobinson)
           - Update to latest OpenGL specifications
           - Update to OpenXR 1.0.24
           - Update to Vulkan 1.3.223
           - Improved ImGuiController disposal. (thanks @Beyley)
           - Fixed incorrect OpenCL functions. This is breaking, but if you were using these functions your code didn't work anyway. (thanks @Alexx999)
           - Fixed IsVisible not being respected in some cases. (thanks @paralaxsd)
           - Fixed window close events not being respected on the SDL backend. (thanks @paralaxsd)

           This update may result in your projects having a lot of deprecation warnings. We believe this update contains much-needed improvements to both Silk.NET and code consuming it, but we appeciate migrating to this version may take time.
