    Starting DirectX in .Net 2003

    Hi,
    I know I've installed the SDK properly and even linked the include files(including from the "common" folder) and the library. What I'm just not sure of doing is setting up the project in .Net 2003. Before, I chose Win32 Project -> change the settings to empty project. It compiled properly but it gave link errors when I ran it.

    I know the links to the libraries are working since it ran fine when I opened an existing project from the the DirectX Sample folder but I just want to know how to build one from scratch. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Add the libraries to your project, don't link.

    Sorry, I didn't point it out clearly. When I mean linking the include files and the library, I mean that I already set it up in the tools -> option -> Projects -> c++.

    As for when writing the code, I did put the "#include <d3d9.h>"

    I know what you meant...Put the library files IN you project instead of linking them...

    so d3d9.lib and d3dx9.lib need to be IN you project

    Thank again. At first I didn't know what you meant, but I then realised that I forgot to put in those files in the additional dependencies section. It works now
