Visual Studio 2008 project/solution files.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It'd be super swell if you could include VS2008 project and solution 
files.  I use visual studio 2008 exclusively and I have to use the svn 
code in order to get a 64-bit version of SlimDX up and running (this would 
also be a nice thing to have), thus I end up having to revert to the 2005 
files, update and then convert the files evertime I update from the 
subversion repository, it becomes tiresome after a while.

We tried. The naive solution does not work. The .vcproj file format is not 
compatible between 2005 and 2008, and I haven't seen enough proof the .csproj 
format 
is either. Until I am absolutely convinced its the only option, I don't want to 
have 
to duplicate the .vcproj and maintain two seperate versions.

I have a few ideas, but they're lower priority right now because of all the 
refactoring we want to finish for the March release.

It's the same situation as it was with 2003 <-> 2005.  The files were 
incompatible, 
in some small way.  It's no big rush.

Does this mean all the SlimDX coders are using VS2005 - because I'm on 2008 and 
not
sure how you want me to join in the build process (atm I just have my own copy 
of the
projects and work off those).

We're using 2005, yes. Get in touch with me somewhere live and we can talk 
about our 
options.

Looks like we will be sticking with a 2005 only version for right now, with 
plans to
include some sort of auto-upgrader tool that users can run right after they 
download
a fresh commit to upgrade the project. All commits by developers will end up 
needing
Visual Studio 2005.

This shouldn't be such a problem for Tape_Worm and others after we come out 
with an
official x64 version.

It's really not a problem now seeing as VS2008 upgrades the project when it's 
loaded.  I certainly don't want it to be a hassle for you guys.  I'm certainly 
happy 
enough to let VS2008 upgrade the project for me.

Just get the x64 stuff straightened out and I'll be happy enough :)

We've now moved over to VS 2008 completely.

it seems that my english is not as good as yours so i don't get it for now :
Is it possible tu use SlimDx on Vista x64 with VS2008

i saw something like :

We've now moved over to VS 2008 completely.

with "Status: Fixed"

so how could I fix the problem ?
I just downloaded the march 2008 release on :
http://code.google.com/p/slimdx/

but our post has been posted 15 hours so i probably have a bad build

thanks for further responses

i took the 2k8 solution at :
http://slimdx.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2k8/build/
and when a i try to build it i have some wired messages like :
'x3daudio.h' : No such file or directory
(on a lot of file)

these files are include like that :
#include <x3daudio.h>

so i believe they are from DirectX SDK
(and i allready have March 2008 DirectX SDK)
any idea :D ?

solved like this :
Solution Explorer
=> Project Properties
==> Building
===> Target Plateform
change the value from "AnyCPU" to "x86"
(make sure you select "All Configuration" to "Configuration" combobox (top of 
the page))

it will work on Vista x64 but of course it will be x86 executable
it enables SlimDx development on Vista x64 that was all i was trying to do
