DirectX .X files with VB.net

Asked by andyfett in DirectX Graphics & Game Programming

Tags: Microsoft, Direct3X Visual Studio, Direct3D9 (November 2007 SDK), Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic 2008, DirectX

I have a VB.net app in Visual Studio 2008 that I need to add a small amount of 3D graphics to.  I have the newest Directx SDK.  I am familiar with VB but new to Directx.

I am able to make shapes and graphics from within the app by defining vertices etc, but these are just simple shapes.  What I would like to do is import the .X files I have made from 3DS Max into my VB app.  

I have seen references online to a D3DXLoadMeshFromX method, but I do not see it anywhere in the Directx SDK, and all examples I see attempting to use this method are in C++.  Could I get some help on how to use my .X file in my VB app?! Thanks.
