Yes, absolutely. In fact, you can use Managed DirectX version 1.1 with version 2.0 of the .NET framework.

In the future, you might want to tell the readerd here how you searched the internet and couldn't find samples or tutorials. Otherwise they'll just think you're just asking them to do something you should have already done.

I had a couple of samples in English but I will not continue working in that web page. You can still download them from www.juegosvb.com (it is in Spanish dough) and as a preview of what you can accomplish with Visual Basic.Net Express, you can follow up with the creation of (Nimbus), An XFile modeler currently under development.

Hope this helps you.

There is a nice example of a game that can be compiled with VB 2005 Express

It's open source, and under developement.

You can just download the latest Compiled to check it out, or Build it.

Have you looked at the Hotlabs page on MDXInfo.com on making games? The hotlabs are based in South Africa and cover different aspects of coding complete games. We have succesfully remade a clone of Tetris, Arkanoid and we will soon be remaking other classics.

The samples and power point slides are at www.mdxinfo.com/resources/hotlabs.php

Have fun,
Take care.
