Compiling the Sample Application Using Visual Studio

The Windows Media Device Manager SDK includes a Visual Studio solution that is compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

Before you compile the sample application, you must rename the header file shtypes.h to prevent conflicts with a file of the same name that is found in the Microsoft Platform SDK. For example, you could rename <SDK Installation Path>\WMFSDK11\include\shtypes.h to <SDK Installation Path>\WMFSDK11\include\shtypes.h.backup.

To build the application, start an instance of Visual Studio 2005, open the solution file, wmdmapp.sln, which is found in the folder <SDK installation path>\WMFSDK11\apps\wmdmapp and choose the Build/Build Solution option. This will create two project files: the helper project, proghelp.vcproj, as well as the main application wmdmapp.vcproj. In addition, it will create the progress helper DLL and the main application (WMDMApp.exe).
