We've just purchased .Net 2005 and would like to compile the DirectShow BaseClasses supplied with the Platform SDK. DirectShow documentation (in the on-line version of the MDSN library) states that there should be a .dsw file in the BaseClasses folder... but there is none. All we could find was a makefile. Is there a way to create the project from a makefile Help!![]()

DirectShow in the December 2004 release was part of the DirectX "Extras". It is an additional download.

Well, it's not there since DirectShow was moved from DiectX to the Platform-SDK.
At least for me the following just worked fine:
This worked at my computer for the baseclasses and all other examples I tried, which is mainly the filter stuff. Your milage might vary... :)

In trying cpix's suggestion I downloaded the December 2004 edition of the DirectX SDK from a MS site...and extracted it's content......and unbelievably enough there is no trace of DirectShow in it…
Has MS also removed DirectShow from the old DirectX SDKs !
cpix did you download the April 2005 DirectX SDK AFTER MS made the move to remove DirectShow from DirectX SDK or did you already have it downloaded before that
