#pragma comment(linker,"/delayload:xxx.dll") -- not supported in VS .NET

The codebase I'm stuck using uses this pragma several times (for directx and other things). Their reasoning is because it will allow the plugin to still load even if you don't have the correct version of directx installed. This way it can be handled by telling the user what the problem is and how to resolve it. [This is something I'd REALLY like to be able to do with my games going forward so I can do away with a separate launcher exe that does this check for me.] So anyway, it appears that it is no longer supported post VS6.0 and after browsing the web for an explaination, it sounds like it never really was guaranteed to work in the first place so they just cut it. This isn't going to be a showstopper for me but it would sure be nice if there was a way to handle it. What can I do to gain this functionality? My project here is to create a plugin dll for another app and if you don't have every single dll installed, it simply won't show up in the plugin list at all currently -- not very elegant. Thanks!

Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that line for delay loaded dlls! That appears to work (no more warnings) but I won't know for sure until I'm at a point where I can run this thing.

I did find the additional options edit box...I don't know how I missed it before. :
Thanks
