[IronPython] Newbie questions. . .

[Dave Fugate]

The "Prerequisites" section of the readme.htm distributed with the Direct3D sample contains info on fixing this (i.e., using Managed DirectX 1 instead of the 2.0 Beta).  Basically please replace all occurrences of:
            clr.AddReference("Microsoft.DirectX")

        with:
            clr.AddReferenceByName('Microsoft.DirectX, Version=1.0.2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35')

throughout the sample.

Hope that helps!

OK, I'm making progress. . . at least now I'm getting an error in a
dialogue box, and actually got it to work once this morning!!

I have updated the DirectX SDK to the November 2007 version and the
Direct X version on my computer is 9.0.  I also have the .NET SDK 2.0
installed.

D:\IronPython\Samples\Direct3D>ipy demo1.py
