Please help, trying to get directx up and running in a managed project of c++

  OK I know I'm replying to myself but, I figured out so far that if I use the following in my form1.cpp file I'm ok, but if I use it in my form header file (form1.h) it gives the errors I'm experiencing...
  
  

  namespace Microsoft
     {
     namespace DirectX
        {
        namespace PrivateImplementationDetails
           {
           #include <d3d9.h>
           }
        }
     }
  using namespace Microsoft::DirectX;
  using namespace Microsoft::DirectX::Direct3D;
  
  Anybody know why this is a standard blank project.

  Cool, thanks.  So I added his stuff and I still get errors.  I've been trying for weeks to incorperate dx into my project without success :(  I've even started blank project and it still wont compile.

  Question: in Tom's blog it says to do the following to use the include...
  
  namespace Microsoft
  {
      namespace DirectX
      {
          namespace PrivateImplementationDetails
          {
              #include <d3d9.h>
          }
      }
  }
  
  But when I do this it redefines the namespaces that I use to perform my dx tasks.  So after the above statement I can't access anything in the original Microsoft.DirectX namespace.
  
  What should I do to access that stuff
  
  Thanks,
  
  Devin
