HI im new in directx
i have previosly made a game in directx c++ and wanted to try using managed c#
and i have a BIIIGGGG PROBLEMMMM and I cant see what it is .
my problem is that I have 2 meshes one in (0,0,1) coordinate and the other one in (0,0,-3) and my camara is in (0,0,5) and when i render them the last mesh that is the fardest(0,0,-3) i see it in front of the first mesh(0,0,1),
its like the device doesnt use the Zbuffer for ordering my meshes
and I have it enable: device.RenderState.Zbuffer = true;
I dont understand WHY is it rendering in the order the meshes are getting to the effect , the device is not ordering my meshes and I cant figure it out.
PLS HELP ME , what am I doing wrong?????
here is the code::::::::::
C#:
		public Device device;
		public ExtendedMaterial[] materials;
		public Material[] meshMaterials ;
		public Texture[] meshTextures ;
		public ExtendedMaterial[] materials2;
		public Material[] meshMaterials2 ;
		public Texture[] meshTextures2 ;
		Effect effect,effect2;
		Mesh m,m2;

		public Form1()
		{
			this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.Opaque, true);	
			InitializeComponent();
		}
		#region Windows Form Designer generated code
		/// <summary>
		/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
		/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
		/// </summary>
		private void InitializeComponent()
		{
			this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
			this.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(300,300);
			this.Text = "Form1";
		}
		#endregion

		/// <summary>
		/// The main entry point for the application.
		/// </summary>
		[STAThread]
		static void Main() 
		{
			using (Form1 frm = new Form1())
			{
				frm.Show();
				frm.InitializeDevice();
				Application.Run(frm);
			}
		}
		public void InitializeDevice()
		{
			PresentParameters presentParams = new PresentParameters();
			presentParams.Windowed = true;
			presentParams.SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Discard;
			device = new Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device(0, Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.DeviceType.Hardware, this, CreateFlags.HardwareVertexProcessing, presentParams);

			device.Transform.World = Matrix.Identity;	
			device.RenderState.ZBufferEnable = true;
			crearMeshes();
			crearMeshes2();
		}	
		public void crearMeshes()

Just a quick scan of your code -- I see that youre not clearing the ZBuffer.
device.Clear(ClearFlags.Target | ClearFlags.ZBuffer, System.Drawing.Color.White, 1.0f, 0);
 
You are not enabling the depth buffer in presentation parameters. Look into EnableAutoDepthStencil and AutoDepthStencilFormat properties of present params.
