when I run it on my computer, it returns:

DirectX Version : 4.09.00.0904

If I check DXDiag, it says "DirectX 9.0c(4.09.00.0904)

Any idea how to find out the 'friendly' version number based on the long string returned by the code above?

(I mean, I wouldn't have interpreted 4.09.00.0904 as 9.0c myself... And Of course have no idea how 9.0b, 9.0a or 8.0 would be represented either)
