DirectX

I am trying to use references microsoft.directX, microsoft.directX.directd3d, and microsoft.directX.direct3dx, but for some reason it says they are missing. I went to the .NET control panel and it showed them there. I have both the .NET framework and DirectX 9 SDK.

How can I get VS to recognize the dlls?

Alright, I was able to find the dll inside a directX installation CAB and link to it manualy- and it works, but that is a pain and it would be good to know why it is missing

I've got the same error.

I downloaded/installed the DirectX9 SDK for VB.NET and got the error saying the "Microsoft.DirectX.DLL" assembly could not be found. So I uninstalled that and downloaded/installed the complete DirectX9 SDK and I still have the same error messages and I can't reference Microsoft.DirectX.*

Which cab file did you find the dlls in?

The .NET assembly Microsoft.DirectX.dll could not be found

Do a search on C: partition for " Microsoft.DirectX.* "

I only found the Microsoft.DirectX.*.xml files in the SDK not the dlls.

I've just installed DX9 SDK . It's working fine . You should to specifiy to run needed files from your machine before installation ends . But the weirdest thing is : DirectMusic is not there . I've been told there is none in DX9 !

I think I did that. I went into custom setup and selected everything to run from my harddrive.

I installed the DirectX 9 SDK (~220mb) and that didn't work. Then I uninstalled and installed the DirectX9 VB.NET SDK Components.

When VS loads, I get the DirectX logo on the VS splash screen, but none of the DirectX dlls appear in my reference dialog...

I have this new item in the project template "DirectX9 Visual Basic Wizard" . It shows empty window , when I close it runs error . Don't know what's it for ?

I have the same wizard, but it doesn't work because the code doesn't find the DirectX.dll files.... I can run the wizard and it asks like 4 different sets of questions (like are you using Direct3D, Direct this-or-that, etc.)

**Pirate** · Apr 7th, 2003, 10:31 AM

It should be of help that wizard . I can't run it because it's asking of default.htm file under directx9 folder .!

**Shurijo** · Apr 7th, 2003, 10:53 AM

I think that I have that file. If I do have it, then I will trade it for the DirectX.*.dll files

I can send you those files when I get home tonight after work and class.

A few questions:

Does it matter what directory you install it in?

I cannot find the dlls in the SDK, but I found them in the DirectX 9 end-user runtime. The only thing the SDK installs is the xmls.

Is the VB.NET subset of directX 9 SDK a stand-alone version for just VB.NET? Has anybody tried using it?

Is anybody able to use the dlls without error manually linking to them? Because I still havn't...

I tried installing it, but nothing seemed to work with it. At least when I installed the full SDK, I get the DirectX logo on my VS StartUp screen. I haven't been able to get the other SDK to work yet either.

I can use all DX9 Library files except DirectMusic (dunno where the hell is it hiding) .
