Compiling DirectShow Samples with Visual Studio .Net 2005

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:

    1. Get the last DirectX where DirectShow was still included (mine is from April 2005). It should still be available at Microsoft
    2. Extract it. Careful if you already have a newer version installed...
    3. Find the DirectShow examples under \DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow
    4. Copy the *dsw- and *.vcproj-files found there into the appropriate Platform-SDK directories
    5. Start your compiler

    This worked at my computer for the baseclasses and all other examples I tried, which is mainly the filter stuff. Your milage might vary... :)

    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
