SharpDXException at SharpDX.dll in 3.0.0

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and my GPU supports DirectX11.

I was using SharpDX for a long time in 2.6.3 version.

When I'm updating to any newer version my code and any code from examples is throwing SharpDXException:

"Additional information: HRESULT: [0x887A0001], Module: [SharpDX.DXGI], ApiCode: [DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL/InvalidCall], Message: Unknown" while creating device.

In older versions everything is going fine, but I want to use the newest version so I really want to solve this. Could you help me?

SharpDX 3.0+ made some breaking changes. What you see is the standard error you get when debugging is disabled for the DirectX layer. To get more info, follow these steps. That way, you'll get error details in the Output Window.

Ok, there are a few things you can do going forward.

On your device creation. Add the following flag.

creationFlags |= DeviceCreationFlags.Debug;

You can then query the device for the debug interface. You can also set Directx to error on warnings or even information events.

I will post the exact C# code later if interested. But always leave Debug mode on when in debug (turn off for release). This will help track the errors more readily.
