This video demonstrates in detail how to setup an RTX project in Visual Studio. A step by step process makes it quick and easy to get started with RTX development. In this video, Visual Studio Community 2015 is used. RTX development SDK includes libraries for building RTX DLL using Visual Studio 2017, 2015, 2013 and 2010. The resulting project from this video will be used in the subsequent setup video as a template to facilitate quick and easy setup new projects without the burden of repeating all the project setup steps.
