Drawing Line with SetPixel

See more:

Visual-Studio

Hello,

I am in the process of learning to code for windows and I am following examples out of a book (Beginning Game Programming Second Edition by Jonathan S. Harbour), but unfortunately one of these examples uses SetPixel function. So when I create a window and try to draw a line, lets say across the window. It seems that on computer it only draws half of the line and other side is blank. Does anyone know what might cause this?

I am using Visual Studio 2008, Direct X 11.0
