Problem with DirectX 9 SDK

If the code works with VS 2008 but not VS 2010 then we know that there is either a bug or something different for VS 2010. Getting the bug fixed or determining what we are supposed to know that we don't know helps Gary. Managed DirectX is supposed to work with managed code, correct? I have not seen anything saying it does not work or that we are not supposed to use it or something saying to use something else.

Do you still have access to VS 2008? I could, but I must use my old computer and I am not sure all the wires are still connected.

I got the following when I tried Frogleg's code. This is the error I was getting from my DirectSound program before I changed the project to use .Net Framework version 4. I managed to get past this error by changing the version. The mamanged classes sure should work in a managed program. I have already tried to search for a solution but I probably limited my search to DirectSound. Hopefully there is a solution.

Why did you download the SDK? That might have broken something. I did not install the SDK; I used the managed DirectX classes as they existed after installation of VS 2010. More specifically, I used DirectSound. I don't know how to find the reference in the .NET tab but I hope you understand the following for finding it by browsing. As I said, this is for DirectSound but I hope it is relevant for you too. Note that if you get a compile error that seems totally wrong, then try changing the .Net Framework version to 3.5 or less. Then if you get a LoaderLock debugging warning during execution, don't worry; it is expected. Let me know when that happens.

Use audio video playback
Make sure to add reference to Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback in - add reference net tab
Note you will get an error if run in debug mode, so run the exe in the bin\debug folder

Edit Sorry this will not work in C#2010
