Is there a real time graphics llibrary in c#
A couple other options than what has been suggested so far: - TerraFX.Interop.Windows. Raw, blittable, 1:1 bindings for all Win32, D2D/D3D11/D3D12 APIs (there's also a version with Vulkan bindings). As close to doing #include as you can get in C#. This is my personal favorite, I use it in my own ComputeSharp library, and transitively we use it in the Microsoft Store too 🙂 - Silk.NET another version of high-performance bindings, more opinionated than TerraFX and with some additional helpers to make it a bit easier to use.

Fixing my BF1942 woes with Win32 APIs
I tried out both TerraFX.Interop.Windows and CsWin32, ultimately settling on the latter. CsWin32 was a little less intimidating as the API is generated based on strings in a text file rather than containing everything at once. Also I like jumping to definition of types to read more and explore APIs etc and doing that to one of the types in the TerraFX library crashed Visual Studio. That's more of a VS problem than a TerraFX library but still - CsWin32 would work great for what I'm doing.

How to interact with Win 11 API?
Pick your P/Invoke library of choice. For instance, CsWin32, or if you feel braver and want to go faster, TerraFX.Interop.Windows
- Would you want/use an improved interface to native Win32 APIs for .NET?

What's the fastest way to get pixel data from a Bitmap?
I'm using WIC through TerraFX.Interop.Windows in one of my projects, would definitely also recommend that one if anyone's looking for fast, native 1:1 bindings to all these various Win32 APIs.

Why not use ref?
Literally any direct port of C++ objects (eg. here, here)

Seriously WTF C++?
There are quite a lot actually, even if we ignore engines and frameworks (though some of them are quite low level). Some of the biggest are Silk.NET, Vortice.Windows, SharpDX (the last one is dead but it still should work well).

What's the fastest way to get pixel data from a Bitmap?
In C#, that means you'll need something like Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET. If you just want WIC (and not a bunch of DirectX stuff, there's also a plain old WIC interop library. And if you don't mind a well-tested, yet end-of-life library, there's SharpDX.
What are some alternatives?
CsWin32 - A source generator to add a user-defined set of Win32 P/Invoke methods and supporting types to a C# project.
Vortice.Windows - .NET bindings for Direct3D12, Direct3D11, WIC, Direct2D1, XInput, XAudio, X3DAudio, DXC, Direct3D9 and DirectInput.
Silk.NET - The high-speed OpenGL, OpenCL, OpenAL, OpenXR, GLFW, SDL, Vulkan, Assimp, WebGPU, and DirectX bindings library your mother warned you about.
