Hi All,
I'm writing an app that creates tones at various levels and I'm using DirectSound to do this. I have that portion working on my machine. However, the target machine doesn't have DirectX installed and it failed when I tried. I downloaded the DirectX SDK. What I'm woundering, can I place the DSound.dll in my toolbox and then drop it in the form and have it work on the target machine? I'm new at this so if any help would be appricated. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. Thanks!!

P.S. I'm using VB.Net 2005 and I have added
Imports Microsoft.DirectX
Imports Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound

You can ask questions about DirectX at forums.xna.com. The managed extensions for DirectX are obsolete and no longer ship since the August 2007 release. One possible way to get them deployed that I see is to set the Copy Local property to False. Open the References node in the Solution Explorer window first. That puts a copy of the required assembly (Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.dll) in your build directory. Copy it along with your .exe to the target machine.

nobugz,
Thanks for the reply and good info. The Copy Local proprty was set to fasle, once I set it to True I was able to export the Microsoft. DirectX and .DirectSound dlls. When I copied them with the .exe all worked great!! I wasn't able to get the levels I need. Now it's time to design a audio amp circuit :)
Thanks for your help!!
