IntelliSense: identifier "IDXGISwapChain1" is undefined

Question

I have saved a captured frame using NVIDIA Nsight and when I open the saved solution file I get the following itellisense error:

IntelliSense: identifier "IDXGISwapChain1" is undefined [..]

I have made no changes to the solution.

I also get the follow errors when building (using VS2013):

Answer 1

It is a bug in the way Nsight serializes the frame. The solution is to add

#include <dxgi1_2.h>

to resources.h

and, in my case, change the second parameter to CreateSwapChainForHwnd from NULL to hWindow_000D060E in the Resources00.cpp file.
