DirectX Integration With MSVS2005

DirectX integration isn't in VS2005. With the exception of shader debugging, everything you need is still accessible. If you're looking for starter projects, look in the DirectX Sample Browser.

It is compatible you just have to manually reference the assemblies and dlls in your project, or use pre exsting projects to use their refences.
