HELP ME PLEASE

   I've download the new DirectX (october2005)SDK uppdate, but i'm having problems create a Direct X application. It doesn't show-up in the new projects menu under Visual C++ or any of the other Languages. What would anyone recommend as the solution for this problem.

    Which almost certainly means that what I said is true - you need to set up the include and lib directories in Visual Studio, so that it can see the libraries in C++.  C# doesn't need anything like that, which is why it's working.

    Go to tools/options/Projects.  You'll see a tab for VC++ build directories.  There is a drop down on the main page - change it to show for include files, and look for a include directory in the SDK sub dirs.  It will be full of .h files.  Now change it to library files and look for a directory called lib, it will be full of .lib files.  When these are set, the projects will build.

    thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work. It will only compile the C# projects and not the C++ projects.

    Thanks jack for the help it worked out good. It been a while since i used C++ , so i'm more use to the VC++ 6.0 version.

    I guess i'll have to real learn eveything again.

    It's not supposed to - it's been a long time since the SDK has included "AppWizard" extensions for Visual Studio.

    Check out the "Sample Browser" installed by the SDK - under each sample in the list there should be a link to "Install Project" - click this and you can create a clone of a project similar to what you want (select "Empty Project" from the list to start from scratch). This method is functionally equivelant to the AppWizard/"new project" type thing you seem to be looking for...

    Also, follow what cgraus suggested - at a guess you're using the new VC++ 2005 tools, right The October 05 SDK predates Studio-05 such that it's installer doesn't auto-configure the IDE correctly.

    It should have installed new projects.  Your other option is to run some of the samples that came with DX, and use one as a shell to start your own.  It sounds like you'll need to set up your include and lib directories to include the SDK as well, before anything will compile.
