I recently installed visual studio 2005 express and then downloaded the latest directx sdk from microsoft.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C72D9F1E-53F3-4747-8490-6801D8E8B4EF&displaylang=en that really long link. :-D I then go to create a new windows project. Click add reference then I click com scroll down to directx8 for Visual Basic type... and then click okay. (i don't have these checkboxes everyone else is talking about.) I then go back and click add reference again then click .NET tab, scroll down then select Microsoft.DirectX and click okay again. So now in my mind I have the appropriate references. So I then go and type Dim directx as Directx However, my compiler is convinced directx isn't a current namespace. What gives? I've googled, I've searched forums, I've pleaded with it...help? :-D
