The microsoft DirectX SDK is a set of libraries for accessing graphics hardware (thru directX) for C++, well in its v9 incarnation it also adds namespaces to the .net framework that can be called from any of the .net languages (vb.net, c#.net, C++.net, j#, etc)

Have to rush off to a meeting, will try and find a download link for you as well (not small mind you)

The DX SDK is used so that you can access different components in your programming, such as DirectAudio, Direct3D, DirectSound, DirectInput, etc. The download is huge so if you don''t have high-speed internet, you should use a download manager such as Download Accelerator so you can pause during the day and resume at night.

Until Then, I Remain,
