ThePentiumGuy Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Ok, this is SO dumb. When you refernence the DLLs for DirectX: Microsoft.DirectX Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX <-- When you import them: Imports Microsoft.DirectX Imports Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D Imports Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.D3DX <-- What the hell? -The Pentium Guy Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG

ThePentiumGuy Posted February 1, 2005 Author Posted February 1, 2005 Good point, I'm always used to looking at them like "A huge company" rather than a collection of individuals.

IngisKahn Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 They tend to pay less attention to VB.NET. In C# it's: using Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX Quote "Who is John Galt?"
ThePentiumGuy Posted February 1, 2005 Author Posted February 1, 2005 Oh. Damn. Hmph, I'm going to personally email microsoft (billg@microsoft.com - jkjk). I might email MSDN Tech Support or post it on their tech support forum. Nah, just kidding. It doesn't bother me too much. But I'm sure: a) They know about this, but they're too lazy to fix it b) They don't know about this. c) They know about this and they're going to fix it immediately. (Lol what other choices are there :P). -The Pentium Guy Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG
DrunkenHyena Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 You can send an email to directx@microsoft.com to let them know. If you don't report the problems you have no right to complain about them. Quote
ThePentiumGuy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 Well I do have a right :), but I hope you realize that I wasn't being 100% serious on this whole thread (The problem exists, but I don't care about it hehe). I mean I'm not "condemning" Microsoft, just saying that they made a mistake. Chill :) -The Pentium Guy Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG
DrunkenHyena Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 VB.Net does not, and will not ever receive the same attention as C#. Reporting issues that you find can make life easier for other VB users. It would only take you a few minutes at most to send in an email about it, so why not report it? Quote
sgt_pinky Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Hehe, I like how your post is called "Microsoft is RETARDED", then you say "I mean I'm not "condemning" Microsoft, just saying that they made a mistake.", rofl. I am just happy that VB.NET has the DirectX functionality that it has! Now I don't have to waste time learning C++ syntax - I can just use the language that I know and love. :D Quote
ThePentiumGuy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Posted February 4, 2005 Lol. Well I meant "MICROSOFT IS RETARDED" in a light, humorous, comical, playable (whatever adjectives you want to use) manner. Becuse they are NOT retarded, they invented windows (....fine, everythin ghas it's quirks though). Yeah I gotta be grateful for that. At least they're supporting vb.net -TPG Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG
