Attention All C# Devers

[MadProgrammer]

It is possible to use DX9 RC0+ RUNTIME to program DirectX9 in C# (and presumably VB). I'll post later when I figure out how to use it.

This i can not wait for! i must have NOW!!!  :twisted:  :twisted:

[MadProgrammer]

I need to know how to reference an assembly, since it seems that when I go to add reference and hit browse, I am unable to select ANY of the assemblies on the list.

[Anti-Gremlin]

Ill play around on my end and see what i get...

[JeffWeber]

<edit> nevermind, I thought that was a question. Not a statement.

[Anti-Gremlin]

Ok here is what you do people...

Download dX9 from microsoft.. install it, and reboot (eww i know!)

Create a folder to store the .DLLs in that you will later reference (eg: c:\windlls\)

Now we open up a dos prompt.

Code:

cd  c:\Windows\Assembly\GAC\

copy Microsoft.DirectX\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll  C:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.Diagnostics\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.DirectPlay\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

copy Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound\5.3.0.308__31bf3856ad364e35\*.dll c:\windlls\

after you have done that, open up your C# project remove your dX8 reference, and click browse to add new reference, goto the c:\windlls\ folder and simple add the dX9 Assembly files.. and wolla! you can now code dX9 in C#!!

Enjoy!

C# Tuts to follow, by Anti-Gremlin and Me

[JeffWeber]

The DX9 SDK also comes with a ton of C# and VB.Net samples and tutorials.

[Anti-Gremlin]

That may be true, but they wont have T VC# examples...

First tutorial will be posted soon.

[MadProgrammer]

@Jeff:

Some of us don't have the full SDK  :shock:

[Anti-Gremlin]

I have completed csharp tutorial 1, as soon as MadProgrammer creates the VB.NET version we will post up a url for you guys to download and play around...

already working on tut 2 & 3
