I created a Managed Assembly using DirectX 11 for my level editor. I rebuilt the solution and program for the DLL and it works. Now, when I go into a test project it gives me SIC_Editor::Device::Init candidate functions not accessible. I am new to learning C++ but I feel I'm getting a grasp on things. However, C++ and C# are a bit different I noticed and what I've read is that C++ is the processor of C#. I Google'd this error and it was referring to managed calls to non-managed. So, I'm guessing the function's calls are not publicly made. I did declare the functions in the main CPP program because without it I would get compiling errors for the DLL. So, thanks for taking your time and reviewing the code. I'm sure it's something simply and it's probably laughing at my face! You know how it is when the problem is taunting you.

                                  &scd,
                                  &swapchain,

    // get the address of the back buffer
    ID3D11Texture2D *pBackBuffer;
    swapchain->GetBuffer(0, __uuidof(ID3D11Texture2D), (LPVOID*)&pBackBuffer);

    // use the back buffer address to create the render target
    dev->CreateRenderTargetView(pBackBuffer, NULL, &backbuffer);
    pBackBuffer->Release();

    // set the render target as the back buffer
    devcon->OMSetRenderTargets(1, &backbuffer, NULL);


    // Set the viewport
    D3D11_VIEWPORT viewport;
    ZeroMemory(&viewport, sizeof(D3D11_VIEWPORT));

    viewport.TopLeftX = 0;
    viewport.TopLeftY = 0;
    viewport.Width = 800;
    viewport.Height = 600;

    devcon->RSSetViewports(1, &viewport);
}

This is the windows form in C++ that's giving the function candidate issue.

private: System::Void DX9Form_Shown(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
			 {	 
				SIC_Editor::Device::Init(hDX9);
				SIC_Editor::Device::Render();
			 }

The windows form C++ is in another project. I figured i just make a managed framework I can work in for simplicity sake.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys! Much appreciated!
