newbie dx compile question

[Guest]

I am somewhat new to the c# language, and am working on direct x apps.

I'm having a problem compiling the source for a game that was included as
part of the book "Beginning 3d Game Programming" by Tom Miller. I originally
tried to compile with the august release of SharpDevelop, but when that
failed (with 27 errors) I tried to compile it with my 30 day trial edition of
visual studio 2003. Heres the errors that I got (sorry about the length!)

I have Direct x 9.0c installed, the dx 9.0b sdk, as well as .net 1.1, and
2.0 beta2
I'm not sure whats wrong, but due to the # of errors I'm guessing that I
missed somthing obvious.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like the book's assembly references are not up to date with your
SDK.

You should have a look at www.thezbuffer.com, ZMan has updated the code
to work with the current SDK for DirectX. In the short term, try
rebining the DirectX resources for the project and see if that works.

Also I have some notes on the problems I faced with Toms Books posted
on www.ircomm.net. But please note that these problems were only due to
the upgrading of the Managed DirectX Systems in the SDK.

Looks like you're missing some references to me.

Project Menu, Add References. Navigate over to wherever your directX
sdk is installed, and find the managed code library folder. Add those
DLLs.
