Hi Che,

This is just a shot in the dark, but are you sure the references dialog
didn't have two entries for DirectX? Don't forget, under .NET, you can have
what is called side-by-side implementations of different versions of the
same application. Therefore, your machine may have both 1.0 and 1.1
libraries present.


I'm also assuming you are adding the references from the .NET tab of the Add
References dialog, and not the COM tab. DirectX 9 is a managed library, and
so has .NET interfaces.


Are you working in a new project? Or is it one you started in VS 2005 and
are trying to convert back to VS.NET 2003? The latter may not be a good
idea, but given a bit of fiddling, should be doable. At the very least you
would want to remove the existing references in the project, and then add
them back again.


Finally, I haven't looked at the latest DirectX SDK, but you need to make
sure it is still compatible with the .NET Framework 1.1, and isn't somehow
optimised for .NET 2.0. If the latter, then you may not be able to use that
latest version with VS.NET 2003. That's just a thought, and not a statement
though.

I recently changed from vs.net 2005 to 2003. I was having some success
using directX with 2005, but since changing over, nothing is working. I
have tried to add references to microsoft directX and directsound as is
required when using directX, but when I find these items in the add
reference menu and hit return on them, nothing happens.
Also, I have reinstalled the directx sdk from august 2004, the latest
version, but the version showing up in the add reference is still 1.02
versus the 1.1 I was getting after adding the sdk to 2005.
Anyone out there have any ideas what the heck is going on with this thing?
I have spent the last four hours trying to find a solution to this, but have
come up with absolutely nothing.
Much thanks.
Che
