adding Direct X reference

[Luc]

Hey, i searched the forums for an answer to my problem but i couldnt find it. I installed directX 9.0 SDK + update and added a key in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyFolders\DirectXassemblies

I also added in the default area the location of all the direct X dll's. I start my VB.net and i still cant import microsoft.directx. Anny help pls.
ps: i use everything in dutch language, could that have to do annything with it?

thx luc

You cant import it because it throws you an error? or because it doesn't even appears on the list of dll's to import?

Normally at the top you write imports microsoft.directx or so but i dont have the direct x in the list.

Import is different from adding a Reference. Adding a reference is necessary if you want to use that particular namespace. An import statement is only a type of shorthand, eliminating the need to fully qualify a namespace. To add a reference, in the solution explorer right click the References node and select 'Add Reference...'. Then either select a component from the list or use the Browse button to locate the library on your harddrive. Adding a reference enables you to Import the namespace.
