Does anyone use DirectDraw with DirectX9?

I want to make a simple 2d game using VB.NET+DX9 (not a complicated 3d project), but there is nothing on the internet to start. I wonder, no one uses DX9 for 2d or they don't bother to write a tutorial?

Can anyone help me? Where shall I find something relative? I want to learn DX9 for VB.NET and I can't find a place to start. (The only thing on the internet is a tutorial in directx4vb.com, but is more 3d oriented and complicated for my level).

I have written a simple tutorial on setting up the device and setting up the primary and backbuffer surface and then filling it with color and flipping it. I hope it can help you :). (beware, it might contain typos as i just uploaded it :) )

Hey mutant you are my favorite! That's exactly what I was looking for. Now, if you could write something about how to implement a tile-map using DX9 you would be fantastic. I hope you will continue your good work.
