Use the view transform. This places the camera.

Try the Microsoft newsgroups for DirectX if you''re really stuck.

I think what you are looking for is what equations you need to place the direction that you are looking at.

And what you need to use are trig functions: sin(rad(rotation)) for the depth (z) and cos(rad(rotation)) for the x.

then, just multiply that stuff by a number to get the look-at point.
