Original Post
I've decided I wanted to finally get around to learning direct x, and I have a book that teaches to make a toned down version of a game I hope to one day create. Its a basic version of it, but its the exact engine and style of how I want to make my game. Anyway, Im doing all the exercises, and want to use VC++ 2005. This book uses dx 8 and its code is a bit old. I am getting this error with this code
