Hi to all,

I would just like to ask a simple question...
Could Managed DirectX 9 (SDK Summer 2004) be used in MVC++ 2003?
I ask this question coz, I get an error when using Managed DirectX in MVC++.
My routine is very basic, I tend to create a device object using managed
directX and im getting a compiler error:

error C3635:
'Microsoft.DirectX.PrivateImplementationDetails::IDirect3DDevice9': undefined
native type used in 'Microsoft::DirectX::Direct3D::Device'; imported native
types must be defined in the importing source code
        did you forget to include a header file?

I tried using C# and it works perfectly.
Is this one of MVC++ limitiations?
Coz as i understand a .NET assembly (eg. ADO .NET) could be used in all the
VS .NET languages (VB .NET, C#, MVC++)...
If thats the case, then why isn't MVC++ supporting Managed DirectX???

cheers
