   Linking problem in VS .NET
  OK, newbie question so please bear with me.I have writen a simple program using VC++ .NET and DXSDK9.  The first part of it uses D3D, draws a few random sprites and other things and works fine.  However, I added some DirectInput code, and I start getting unresolved external errors.  (All the unresolved externals are DirectInput-specific.)  I''ve tried it using both the dinput.lib and dinput8.lib.  I''ve linked the import libraries by adding them to the "Additional Dependancies" entry on the project property pages.  Is there another way I can link the .libs (although if that was the problem, I would think that the D3D code wouldn''t work either)?  Is there something else I need to add to my project to get DirectInput to work?There''s probably just some stupid little thing that I''m overlooking.  Please help so I can get working again.  Thanks. 
  Did you also add dxguid.lib?;  Have now.   Thanks, that seems to have taken care of the problem.  The book I got on DirectX didn''t mention that you need to include that.
