GAC and DirectDraw help

buchholz

i've downloaded a tutorial sample application which uses directx. but every time i want to compile it: " couldn't find Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw ... etc are you missing a reference?". the .Net Framework is properly installed and so the directx sdk 9.0 is. when i open the GAC i can even load the direct draw assembly, but nothing happens neither it won't be added to the assembly list nor i can compile the application.

try and copy the Dll to the application root and add a reference to that file.. See if it works. Might be some GAC strangeness. Its been giving me issues with dx9 as well lately. Although in my case, the Dx9 dll's dont show up in the GAC at all. (ie: when adding a reference from VS.NET, the DX dll's do not show up in the Add Reference Dialog's listbox. I need to manyally browse to the dll and add it.
