Using VB2010 With DirectX Aug 2009?
Dec 31, 2009
My OS is Vista Home Premium (64-bit) SP2. I've been working with VS 2010 Beta 2, wrote a few apps, and downloaded the Aug 2009 DirectX SDK. I have all of the source code for a game I wrote ten years ago (with VB5 using DirectSound and DirectInput from DX7) and I would like to get it working with the latest VB and DirectX (and use Direct2D also) but the first problem is that I can't even find how to "include" directx into a project. I was hoping to make a small example app to figure out what I need to do to update my code and what capabilities D2D has, but I can't even get out of the gate with DirectX.

I have a variable for startdate as shown below.
Dim startDate as Datetime
startDate = Convert.ToDateTime(datepicker1.text).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")
In the immediate window if I try Convert.toDate(datepicker1.text).toString("dd-MMM-yyyy")it is showing date as 29-Sep-2009 but the value of startDate is 09/29/2009 I really don't understand why the value is not set in startDate variable as 29-Sep-2009

Basically I have a test tomorrow in CPS 110, my programming class that I am completely lost in. I plan on becoming a network admin and not a programmer but I had to take the class. Anyways, here is the email of the review my professor sent me. Following that I am going to say what I need help with.
CPS 110 Spring 2009 (Singh) Review topics for Test 2(You are expected to remember the previous stuff: datatypes,if / if-else statements and booleans).I. Select case statements: write code/walk through
II. Strings and built-in methods. You CAN use the handout about strings and characters from class on the test.

My DataGridView sorts by date. For grins I entered the date 11-02-2010 fully expecting it to be at the bottom of the list, not listed right after the last 11-02-2009 row and before the first 11-03-2009 row.How do I handle this so that come January 1, I won't see all the 01-01-2009 rows listed first followed by the 01-01-2010 rows then the 01-02-2009 rows, etc?

I have a quick question that needs answering. How can I use DirectX in my VB 2008 application? Most sites I've seen says to write Imports Microsoft.DirectX but it's apparently not there. I have downloaded the DirectX SDK (MArch 2009) but there are only C++ files in there. Can anyone provide insight as to how I could solve this?

I am using Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) to make a basic directx program, which shows the coordinate visually. The idea is to draw the x-y and x-z grid using the line class of the direct3D. The line class has a function to draw line in 3d
Public Sub DrawTransform(ByVal vertexList() As Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3, ByVal transform As Microsoft.DirectX.Matrix, ByVal color As System.Drawing.Color)

I'm working on a tool that requires overlays ala X-Fire. I'm hoping to do it in C# or VB.NET rather than resorting to C++, but the only solutions i've found for .NET cause a large performance hit (~20FPS in games). Take a look here: [URL]

If I try to copy/paste simple tutorials such as [URL], Visual Studio freezes indefinitely and I have to force-close it. If I try to use code like the stuff found here

I want to add DirectX capabilities to my project and I don't feel like messing around to learn WPF at the moment. How can I include DirectX into my project running VS2010 .NET 4.0. I know MS no longer supports managed code for DirectX but is there an API module or something I can get.

I've spent a long time bashing my head against my desk and an even longer time trying to get directX to work with vb.net. I've downloaded the June 2010 SDK and installed. I cannot import the directx reference, and it does not even show up in the add references popup. even when manually going into the c:program filesMicrosoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) and search every folder for the correct file it does not exist. What the hell. I'm running Visual Studio 2010 Pro. this is the most frustrating thing.

I have found an example about how to create 2D Graphics in Visual Basic using DirectX here. I have created a new Windows Application, I have copied the code, but I get errors. The code seems to be OK, but the application refuses to start. I have the nVIDIA 7300LE Graphics Card and I'm using Windows Vista x64 with DirectX 10 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I have also downloaded the DirectX Redistributable Package (March 2009) in order to make my application work...

I'm using using System.Graphics for my latest project (A simple 2D application). Problem is, it gets a horrible FPS and I'm only drawing 8x8 tiles (usually 10-12 is enough to bring it down to 12FPS).
A friend of mine suggested that I use DirectX. He also suggested XNA but I opposed because I don't want my clients to have to install the XNA distributional. DirectX is common enough (to my knowledge) and I can just include the dll's if I need to.
So, my search began. I've been looking only for DirectX 2D tutorials for VB.net. I've had no solid success thus far. In truth, all I need to do is be able to draw bitmap x at position pos.
I've been using System.Graphics and a hacked up bitmap as my buffer thus far so I'll go for any improvement that I can get.
I'm using VB.net so I'll be ok if you give my one for C#, I'm pretty good at being able to read it (and I have a nice converter too). I would just prefer VB.net to save time.

I decided to add some 3D rendering to my project and found an interesting little quirk. DirectX doesn't like to work under the AnyCPU Platform; it won't run. Instead you have to assign it to a new platform x86 under the Configuration Manager; which makes debugging difficult because if your doing User Controls they won't load.

So, I coded a graphics engine for myself. I can make meshes, save them, load them, rotate them, position them, scale them, and light them. Unfortunately, when I scale objects to a size other than it's original size, my lighting intensity changes (seemingly proportionally) with the scale of the object! Ambient light still works correctly though. Any suggestions?

I have made a rendering application and it NEEDS dx9c to run... so i want to add dx9c install into my setup project, so when the application installs after the setup has installed the main application it will then install dx9c, I have a folder in my data folder called dx9c with full runtimes inside and the dxsetup.exe, I have tried making a custom action and pointed the action at the dx9c/dxsetup.exe from the data folder into commit folder but this errors on when launching the dxsetup.exe "invalid command line" and uninstalls the whole application.

I wanted to install visual Basic or C++ (but Basic really seems easyer to use) with DirectX or OpenGL but I can't get it to work!I've tried Visual Basic Express 2008 and 2010 and i'm getting the same type of errors...
-> Directx
When I try this program [URL]with VB I either get
with 2008 : just a red cross on a blank screen
with 2010 : an unlimited waiting time, and when i click i get an error message that tells me to continue waiting, im forced to CTRL -ALT - DEL to shut down VB.
-> OpenGL:So i've tried a lot of times! they tell me that it's already installed on windows so i don't need any installation but then VB gives me alot of errors, telling me that some part of code isnt recognized!!
i've tried tutorials with Csgl or Tao, but none seem to work...I already got some knowlege of OpenGL but not DirectX, so could anyone please tell me which one does work on my computer and is best for creating a graphics window inside an API that i create, for instance a mob maker?

i have a little project I have been working on over the past few days just a simple piano project, during making it I used directx sdk To allow me to play multiple wav files at the same time. everything worked out great got the piano working and was able to play some sound effects while I banged out a master piece on the piano . So the next step was to make an exe file , I knew that once I used directx sdk I might run into a problem when trying to make an exe to run on all my PCs that dont have directx sdk installed on them .
My question is it possible to make an exe that will allow my program to run on any pc even without directx sdk installed?

I have a WPF 4/VB.net project, and I'm trying to play video in it. I've been using a mediaelement, much to the chagrin of the program's overall performance. Thus, I'm looking into the only other viable alternative that I can find for my project...directx.
Which brings me to my question. Is it possible to play video (either Theora [.ogv] or Flash Video [.flv]) in DirectX?
