.net and Direct X path

[CodeMaker]

hi
I have installed DirectX also Visual Studio .NET.

But i dont know how to set the path for dot Net
i.e
Without setting the path i am not able to get Microsoft Properties like

using Microsoft.DirectX;
using Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D;

The above properties wont come...

Please tell me how to link or set path between .net and DirectX

Regards

Deepak

Have you added a reference to Microsoft DirectX. Open Project Menu and Click Add Reference in .NET ot COM tab you should see Microsoft DirectX or something similar to this. Double click on that and then click ok. Now Microsoft DirectX should appear in your references.

This is a duplicate thread and the name is not exactly descriptive of the problem. They are both something you should avoid in future.

You have to add the references to your project before you can use them.

Just right click on the References in the Solution Explorer and then click Add.

I just answered your other thread and didn't see this one. Bah!

Typically I will delete duplicate threads, but as both of them had replies, I've simply merged the two.

CodeMaker: Please do not double post.

Everyone else: If you spot duplicate posts and I'm not around, just send me a PM and I will take care of it. Thanks.

hi
Thank you for reply.

Actually i have downloaded code sample from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/gamedevelopment/beginning/default.aspx
[developing game using .net and directX]

while running this code sample i faced the following problem

1) Direct X reference [Which now works fine after your last reply.Thanks]
but following two more errors pending...
2) Unsafe code may only appear if compiling with /unsafe
3) The type or namespace name 'Framework' could not be found
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

First one solved.
2nd and 3rd..i dont know which reference to be added.

Waiting for your kind reply..
Thank you

2. You have to specify that unsafe code is allowed in the project properties, which adds the "/unsafe" switch to the compiler commandline.
3. Whatever assembly that "Framework" namespace or type is defined in has not been added as a reference to your project. A project can't know about every assembly by default. It knows about a few common ones but anything else you have to tell it about, which means adding a reference to yuor project.

Thanks for reply and help...
But 3rd problem still not solved.
I have added reference from "Add Reference"
i have added "Microsoft.Build.Framework"
still it says
"The type or namespace name 'Framework' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I have searched in .NET Tab.
I could not find in COM Tab also..

Even I have added the Line

using Microsoft.Build.Framework;

May i know the problem..

Thank you

Where did this code come from that uses this "Framework" identifier? I think you'll find that the Microsoft.Build.Framework namespace is for the use of the IDE, presumably for building projects. I doubt that it's something that the casual developer should be messing with.

I have got from below link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/gamedevelopment/beginning/default.aspx
Right side of the page there is option to download the code

Thank you

Hi

Hope you downloaded the code and checked.
Me still hanging in that problem..
Please reply..

I am having the same problem, from the exact same MSDN article. Google isn't returning any results on this other than your question. I tend to believe that dxmutmisc.cs is apparently out-of-date with the current DX build and was overlooked by MS.

[Stimpy_77]

OK, I've learned that I need to include *all* of the sample Utility Toolkit framework files, or Samples\Managed\Common\dxmut*.cs. However, it only worked if I used the .NET v1.1 DX assemblies. Using the single .NET v2 assembly, I still get compiler errors.
