Nim199 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Can I manipulate Directx in VB.NET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 yes. Everything is the same except the syntax is a bit different. You can use any language( C, C++, VB, Java, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nim199 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 How do I access it?I have looked around the Studio software but cannot find anything to surgest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 What language are you using (VB.Net)? Are you using Visual Studio (there are free express editions available)?If you are using VS you just add the reference to the DirectX assemblies (you must install the SDK first). Then you just import the namespaces you need to use.If you are not familar with using class libraries you need to do some review or tutorials.
