To get the examples:

• Follow the instructions on Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK
• Download and install the DirectX SDK

To build and run an example:

• Go to the Microsoft DirectX SDK folder, Samples, C++, Direct3D10, Tutorials, Tutorial12
• Double-click “Tutorial12_2005.sln”
• Select “Start Without Debugging” from the Debug menu.

There are a number of known issues with most of the tutorials, but they will all work to some extent. Tutorial 12 is currently the recommended example.
