[Marwa]

hi all,
i have a problem with opening a direct x 9.0 sample made by vc++ 6.0 in vc++ 2008
when i compile i got a lot of the following errors

1>solar.obj : error LNK2028: unresolved token (0A00005D) "extern "C" int __stdcall DestroyWindow(struct HWND__ *)" (?DestroyWindow@@$$J14YGHPAUHWND__@@@Z) referenced in function "long __stdcall WindowProc(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)" (?WindowProc@@$$FYGJPAUHWND__@@IIJ@Z)

VC++ 2008 and VC++ 6.0 use different compilers.

The unresolved dependencies are because you have not linked correct files. My guess is that the API you are trying to use (e.g GetMessage) is wrapped as something else in the .NET Framework so those sections of code would have to be changed.

You could try compiling it as a non-managed executable.
