   Can you use DirectX in VB 2008 Express?
  March 2008 SDK supports:Visual Studio 2008 (New feature)C, C++, C#This sees to mean there isn't any SDK that supports VB 2008!!!! ??Is there a way round this, or will I have to downgrade to VB Express 2005 to get DirectX to work? I'd really like not to because I'm in the middle of converting a vb6 app to VB2008 and don't want to convert again before it can even compile.   
  Have you tried compiling with the March 2008 SDK? It's highly likely that it'll work anyway, there's just no official support for it.   ;  Managed DX is dead and gone, so don't bother.  If you want to use DX from a managed app you need to either look into SlimDX or XNA.
