I don't really think I mean errors, but it seems so on my computer.
I used to have Visual C++ 2005 Express, and I tried the DirectX SDK, and it didn't work. I had some idea in my head about the express version not having every single library or header file required to make the SDK work, so I decided to get the full version of Visual Studio 2005. I'm glad I bought it, because now I have a whole load of stuff to work with, but sadly, the DirectX SDK still refuses to work.
If any of you have also had this problem, and have resolved it in some way, please help me.
Example: ConfigSystem
Error: - 1>------ Build started: Project: ConfigSystem, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
-
1>Compiling...

1>dxstdafx.cpp
-
1>c:\documents and settings\administrator\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\configsystem\common\dxstdafx.h(53) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'XInput.h': No such file or directory
-
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ConfigSystem\Debug\BuildLog.htm"

1>ConfigSystem - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Sorry if anyone else has already posted something like this, because I searched for a thread like this, and couldn't find one.
Thanks.

Can you post your header includes?
I had this problem yesterday.
from the main project screen, select Project from the menu bar. then choose the Project Name Properties option. Your property pages dialog will open. Select the folder C/C++. On the right side of the property page dialog, you'll see an area labeled "Additional Include Directories". Place the path to your 'XInput.h' in the text box then click Apply. That will tell VS 2005 where to find the header file you need.
Hope this helps.
ya that worked thanks. sorry for the late reply. spending too much time working on it, forgetting that i had actually posted for help...
anyway, that worked fine. but i just downloaded the feb 2007 SDK, and that worked, without me having to do anything. now all i need is a graphics card that supports shaders...

Hi all,
I am student who is using .NET pro. I have copy and
pasted a working section of code into a new project. Its
a simple demo using directX to rotate a triangle.
However when i try and compile the program I get 5
linking 2019 errors (Unresolved external symbol). I have
read through the help explanation of this but don't see
where the error has come from. Especially since this
code DOES work. Please help.
Cheers

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.Directx 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!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
