Hi, thanks for the help. I am in the process of reinstalling .NET to see if that helps. I am using C#. I am a bit confused about this part: "Here's another way to register the dlls. Go to the directory where you extracted the SDK Setup files, and then go to: Developer Runtimes | Managed DirectX | Debug .. and run the short setup file there" I installed the DirectX setup from the CD from "Kick start to managed directX for C#". I take it you are talking about if you download Managed DirectX setup from the internet? Regards, Peter

Hi, I am using the Managed Direct X install from the CD from the Book "Kick Start to Managed Direct X". When I try to open one of the example projects I get the same error about the missing Microsoft.DirectX reference. But if I create a new project, and add the files from the example project, then add in the DirectX references myself, and compile, it compiles without any trouble. So I can get it to compile, but it only complains about the missing component when I go to run it. Annoying!! Peter

Hi, I have installed the references for Microsoft Managed DirectX 9. In all the documentation it simply says that when creating a new project click on "Add Reference" and it will be in the list, select it from the list etc. But when I selec the list it is not there, so I have to click on "Browse" and then I know where it is on my hard drive. When I do this I can build a solution that has Microsoft.DirectX references and it compiles fine. But when I got to run the solution I get the following error: The .NET assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX.dll' could not be found." I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I get the same behviour every time. I have Visual Studio .NET 2003. Has anyone had a similar problem? Also how to I manually register the DLL s myself (the setup program has not done it for some reason)?? Is registering a .NET DLL different to registering any other DLL? Thankyou kindly, Peter

Hi, I have also found the same thing, using the SetStyle(....) commands, although it is supposed to work, in fact doesn't work all that well. I think you may need to completely ovveride the OnPaint method, and handle that yourself. I am also interested in anyone's opinion of Managed DirectX for .NET and the performance of that, if anyone has had any experience with that. Peter
