I have the book "Managed Direct X 9 Graphics and Game Programming" Kick Start by Tom Miller.
I am trying to run the sample code for Chapter 1 which does nothing more than initialize the graphics device (does no drawing yet).
I get a runtime error when I try to run the application.

Is there some place online I can lookup these kinds of errors, by the way? :
-2005530516 (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)
To get more information on what this means?

I'm guessing it's failing because you didn't pass what format you want to use to PresentParameters so try adding this line
presentParams.BackBufferFormat = Format.Unknown;
And to look up what the errors mean you can always take a look at msdn
EDIT: gah! typo
presentParams.BackBufferFormat = Format.Unknown;

One thing that helped (I tried this before realizing you had posted) was to compile in RELEASE mode vs DEBUG. This cleaned-up the problem.
Duh, I should have remembered that DirectX is quirky in DEBUG mode.

Cool didn't know that it would work without that line.
Anyway, I never had problems in debug mode maybe because I have an older version? [smile]
The debug mode is trying to warn you that you have done something that is considered unsafe/unwise. It may work in relase mode on your machine, and not work on another. It is always best to eliminate those debug warnings/errors so you know you won't run into problems later.

The problem is back. Now, even Release MODE is not making a difference.
The Format line of code would not compile, btw.
What do I do now?
Why doesn't that line compile what error does it give you?
Did you notice I edited the post? Because I had a little copy/paste trouble there earlier [embarrass]

Ahhhh...yes...I see that you changed the line.
Let me give that a try.
