You are all probably bored of me by now! I have a question reguarding the samples that come with direct x sdk I clicked on samples and went to the simple one where it renders a tiger in visual basic, when I click the play button at the top to begin debug, it runs and it is fine, when i try and build the project and i run it from the folder it comes up with a error saying something along the lines of iostream.file not found or error, i cant remember exactly, but basically it does not work, I used to use visual studio 97 and vb 5, I have jumped to visual studio .net 2003 and I really am not sure on laods of things especially compiling, I remember simply clicking file > make bla.exe, now i do not udnerstand the diffrent options, where it compiles to and most importantly the diffrent sorts, i dont understand the diffrence between debug build and release (is it?) build e.t.c. I am relaly sorry again if this is a noob question but i am a noob and this is the beginners forum! any help you give is extremly appreciated, and if i egver make cash I will remember who ever helped me!

thanks for the brief info , but can anyone tell me how i can simply have the source on screen, compile, email to someone and they run it, because currently i can not run any program i run outside of my pc , or really outside of visual studio.net

Thanks

when i click run in visual studio it works fine, when i compile and try to run outside of visual studio the error i get is :

An exception "System.IO.FileNotFoundException" has occured in test.exe

I have no idea what this is and would appreciate any help, I am going to bed now!

hello?
