Re: newbie dx compile question

Looks like you're missing some references to me.

Project Menu, Add References. Navigate over to wherever your directX sdk is installed, and find the managed code library folder. Add those DLLs.

I'm having a problem compiling the source for a game that was included as part of the book "Beginning 3d Game Programming" by Tom Miller. I originally tried to compile with the august release of SharpDevelop, but when that failed (with 27 errors) I tried to compile it with my 30 day trial edition of visual studio 2003. Heres the errors that I got (sorry about the length!)

I have Direct x 9.0c installed, the dx 9.0b sdk, as well as .net 1.1, and 2.0 beta2
I'm not sure whats wrong, but due to the # of errors I'm guessing that I missed somthing obvious.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
