I was using DirectDraw with D3D in DirectX7. Can I port my application to DX9?
Your Application will work as DirectX is backward Compatible. (That means using any version of DirectX you can access the function calls that where defined in previous versions even though they discourage it)From DirectX7 onwards Microsoft has cut-apart DirectDraw from the API set and is now supporting 2D-Blitting through ID3DXSprite. This technique uses quads that are aligned in a plane parallel to the screen, so that they imitate 2D whereas in reality they are 3D. Also it is fast and unlike DirectDraw, you can get all the benefits of hardware 3D support.
