Xtreme2damax · March 27th, 2008

Well I decided I want to give it another go, but need a bit of help.

Last time I tried I could never get the Microsoft DirectX or Platform SDK set up properly to work with Visual Studio Express Editions.

Everytime I tried to compile something (DX Applications) I would get errors complaining it could not find an include file most likely from the DirectX SDK.

Since I could never get the SDK's set up properly no matter what tutorial I read to work with Visual C# and Visual C++ Express Editions I just finally gave up since I wasn't able to compile anything.

Does anyone have a link to any proper tutorials on how to get the DirectX SDK and Platform SDK to work properly with the Visual C# and Visual C++ Express Editions?

Also where can I find beginners tutorials for dummies for C#, C++ and DirectX programming.

Thank You.
