How do I go about setting up DX and my MSVC++ compiler to send and recieve debug information and then how do I retrieve this info? TIA ~Vednayan

Debug info alone won''t do you much good. You need a debugger to make sense out of it. So unless you are writing a debugger (which I doubt) you don''t need to retrieve debug info from your build.

To enable debug info, go to project settings-c++-general and select appropriate item from debug info combobox. Then, in project settings-link-general check generate debug info box.

Once you''ve done that, you can set breakpoints with F9 and run your program under the debugger with F5. Some other key combinations that you might find useful are Ctrl-F10 to run to current statement, F10 to step over and F11 to step into, Shift-F11 to step out of a function.

If your DX app is fullscreen, you''ll have to make it run windowed unless you have a dual monitor or remote debugging setup.
