whats the summer update?

THe summer update is just the new update release of dx9. you can download it at the direct x web site on msdn. (microsoft releases unfinished software ??? )

Make sure that if you dont install the full dx9 sdk but rather one of the partial language specific install(s) make sure to install like so ...

setup /installmanageddx

... I think thats that right command line parameter? the /installmanageddx argument will insure that managed dx will be installed along side unmanaged dx.

I dont know what the hell microsoft is thinking releasing dx9 without proper documentation. This is by far the worst support for software that I have ever seen microsoft release. They dont even tell people to use the /installmanageddx if you want to install the managed dx9 libraries. I had to look forever to find a msdn news/msg board post on how to properly install managed dx!

For shame microsoft, for shame!

It works fine for VS 2003, but not for VS 2002 (MS rarely supports old software, because they want you to update).

The non-managed documentation is more than complete. Look there if you need to know what something does.

Yep I thought of that and have done that. but the issue still remains DX9 managed is the worst supported api to come from microsoft I have ever seen.
