I know DirectX is not "retired" but the latest version does not accept models in .x format. I'm happy to use any other model format that will work. I'm not "throwing away the whole platform". The ONE function I mentioned is just an example. I HAVE installed the latest version of DirectX but I have been unable to find functions therein that are equivalents of functions I used in previous versions.

The "Build errors" are mainly references to DirectX include files and types that no longer exist. Despite hours of searching, I cannot find out what to replace them with so I can't "correct them". Just one example: I have a call to D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx, this routine does not exist in the new SDK.
