InputElement constructor parameter order...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

InputElement's constructor parameter order doesn't match
D3D10_INPUT_ELEMENT_DESC order.  It swaps the slot and the offest.  March
2009 SP1 version of slimdx.  It's unclear if this is by design and if so
what the rationale is...

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb205316(VS.85).aspx

Example from DX10 tutorials:

D3D10_INPUT_ELEMENT_DESC layout[] =
    {
        { "POSITION", 0, DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT, 0, 0,
D3D10_INPUT_PER_VERTEX_DATA, 0 },
        { "COLOR", 0, DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_FLOAT, 0, 12,
D3D10_INPUT_PER_VERTEX_DATA, 0 },
    };

With SlimDX:
var layout = new[] {
                new InputElement("POSITION", 0, Format.R32G32B32_Float, 0,
0, InputClassification.PerVertexData, 0),
                new InputElement("COLOR", 0, Format.R32G32B32A32_Float, 12,
0, InputClassification.PerVertexData, 0),
            };

Note the swapped order of 12 and 0 in the color input element.

It was by design (to cluster the slot and slotClass parameters for the 
appropriate 
constructor, is all), and in any case would be far to serious a breaking change 
to 
consider now.
