Microsoft.Direc tx.* namespaces not found

I installed visual studio 2002 (aka 7.0) enterprise architect, then directx
9.0b. Directx acted like it was installing .net extensions, but I when I
open someone else's (tested and working) code, I vs tells me that all the
Microsoft.Direc tx namespaces were not recognized.

Does this have anything to do with the fact that vs was also unable to
update itself? I installed from year-old MSDN cds.

HELP!

Make sure you're using the right assemblies. Open up a DX project, expand its references and click on the DX declaration. Information concerning the assembly is shown in the property's window at the bottom. Make sure that version matches the versions you've got. If not, download the one you want and install it, it shouldn't overwrite the others. These assemblies are stored in the root directory, mine for example are in the folders

C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Manag ed DirectX\v9.00.0 90
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Manag ed DirectX\v9.00.1 12

Another way, which might / might not work, is to remove the offending DX references and add yours, make a back up first just in case, there might be a few compilation errors, if you feel confident you can have a go correcting them

Hi, I installed Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (Summer 2004) but when I create a project and try to add the necessary references I can't find them. Does anybody know where to look for them? BTW, I have VS 2002. Don't know if there's an incompatibility issue. Thanks.

I have installed the lastest DirectX SDK on my machine. However, when I try to build their VB.NET example of an audio/video player, the build gets errors associated the the DirectX namespaces for audio and video components. I use the defaults to load the DirectX SDK as I did when I initially installed the .NET software. It appears to me that the build can not find the components. What files contain the .NET DirectX namespaces? Where...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
