    If you are using VC.NET, I think its Project->Add existing item.
    A good book on the subjects is Windows Game Programming for Dummies!

    As far as i know, yes. Either VC or VB. But maybe you could use DevC++ from bloodshed.com.
    Good luck!

    You can use it with any Windows compiler, though you will not be able to use the D3DX Library without MSVC (as far as I know, they might be distributing the new SDKs with libs for other compilers(though I doubt it =)).

    But actually the money you give MS for VC++7 is actually the only money that you can give MS that is not a waste IMHO. It's a wonderful application and really worth it's price. (prize? I always confuse them)

    Price is something you pay, prize is something you win =).

    I wouldnt mind giving MS money for Win2k, either, but that is about it =)

    Win2k - it's worth money, but not as much as they charge.
