Hi all! This is my first post here, and what better way is there to introduce oneself than asking (possibly) noobish questions, right?

Well here's my problem:
I just recently installed VS C++, DXSDK and Dark GDK nad went through the whole progress of fixing the errors about missing "wizards" and some other stuff which I can't remember right now. So today I started playing around with the tutorial.
I had no problems until I was supposed to copy these lines into the code:
dbCreateAnimatedSprite ( 1, “animatedsprite.png”, 4, 4, 1 );
dbSprite ( 1, 0, 0, 1 );

Now when I try to debug it I receive the following error message:
"There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last succesfyl build?"

This is what I found in the BuildLog.htm:

c:\documents and settings\eddlord\mina dokument\visual studio 2008\projects\hello world\hello world\main.cpp(17) : error C2065: '“animatedsprite' : undeclared identifier
c:\documents and settings\eddlord\mina dokument\visual studio 2008\projects\hello world\hello world\main.cpp(17) : error C2228: left of '.png”' must have class/struct/union
type is ''unknown-type''


So... what am I supposed to do? Got any ideas?
I searched the forums to see if someone had had the same problem but I couldn't find anything.
I'm sorry if I haven't made everything clear enough or something. Just ask and I'll see what information I can give you people to help you help me. ^^

P.S. - My english is not the best, so I apologize if there are any grammatical/spelling errors...

You have to use standard quotes. The angled ones don't work correctly, because the compiler doesn't recognized them as quotation marks.



My site, for various stuff that I make.

Ah, thanks alot!

I think I could've figured that out eventually by myself but I guess I was too lazy to read through the code a couple of times but not too lazy to post here.

Thanks SunDawg! And what a quick response!
