"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled"

That's weird.


Make sure the .net 1.1 runtime and Managed DirectX9 are installed.

That is indeed odd.. I have the DX SDK installed as well as the latest .net runtimes. I tried it out a second computer with the same result. Do you know if there are people that have gotten it to run (aside from yourself)?

Yeah, lots. You guys are actually the first I've seen who can't get it to run.

I'll work on a re-compile tonight and hopefully have it up sometime tomorrow. I think I know what might be wrong.

Same here. I get the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Unknown Module.

Additional information: The type initializer for "Frameworkv3.Game" threw an exception.


I have .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1 installed, VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Architect, and the latest DirectX 9.0c [Sept 2004] SDK.

I realize a lot of the comments are pretty old, but it works fine for me, maybe you changed something?

Anyway, nothin' like shooting spaceships and collecting power ups :)

I read the book and I found it excellent, a really good work.

Also I installed the game but when I tried to execute it it returns this error:

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Unknown Module.

Additional information: The type initializer for 'Frameworkv3.Game' threw an exception."

I have installed the .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0, I also run some examples in C# and DirectX and they work fine.

Is there a way to find the source code of the GSS3K and try to compile it by myself?

Thanks a lot.
