DirectX

I'm having a problem with managing the DirectX for starting out in gaming. I'm having problem starting it out with the code. Can anyone give me a few tips or pointers or show me how to set up the beggining code for directx in Visual Basics.

DirectX comes with a "samples browser". I would suggest you start looking at the sample projects.

Okay all I need to know is how to start out the code. I've seen the samples but I'm still having problems.

Normally I'm big with the helping out beginner graphics programmers, but unfortunately, I never learned DirectX. If you had OpenGL questions I'd help in a heartbeat.

Well I have OpenGL its just the book I'm learning from wants me to use DirectX. I'm just having a small problem starting out with graphics and stuff. I think I could use OpenGL I just need to know how to start this off the book is confusing. The book is Visual Basics for Game Programming.
