"Using" DirectX class libraries- newbie question

[Peter Webb]

Sorry, stupid newbie question.

I have VS2008, and I downloaded and installed the DirectX SDK.

I want to access the DirectX classes from C#, but I can't see how to make C#
aware of them.

using Microsoft.Direc tX.Direct3DX;

says the namespace doesn't exist.

How do I link so a C# program has access?

Thanks, Peter Webb

You need to add reference(s) to the DirectX assembly(ies) - they've got
names like microsoft.direc tx.*.dll. The documention for the DirectX SDK
should tell you which assembly(ies) you need to reference for any given
DirectX feature.

In addition to adding the references as Carl said, the above line should be

using Microsoft.Direc tX.Direct3D; //No X at the end.
