I would usually search for this error. But in VS C++ Express, this error comes up for just about every mistake you do. Any how I recieve this error below

error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'vertices'

everytime I add the following code at the top of my document

// Create vertex buffer
SimpleVertex vertices[] =
{
    D3DXVECTOR3( 0.0f, 0.5f, 0.5f ),
    D3DXVECTOR3( 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f ),
    D3DXVECTOR3( -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f ),
};

below is the code in it's entirety. Cant figure out whats wrong. thanks

[EDIT]

// include the basic windows header file
#include "D3Dapp.h"


class MyGame: public D3Dapp
{
    public:
        bool Init3d();
};
MyGame game;

struct SimpleVertex
{
    D3DXVECTOR3 Pos;  // Position
};


// the entry point for any Windows program
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                   HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                   LPSTR lpCmdLine,
                   int nCmdShow)
{
     game.InitWindow(hInstance , nCmdShow);
     return game.Run();
}


bool MyGame::Init3d()
{
    D3Dapp::Init3d();
    // Create vertex buffer
    SimpleVertex vertices[] =
    {
        D3DXVECTOR3( 0.0f, 0.5f, 0.5f ),
        D3DXVECTOR3( 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f ),
        D3DXVECTOR3( -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f ),
    }

    return true;
}

error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'vertices'

Usually this error occurs when what's before the identifier isn't known to the compiler. In your case that means the compiler hasn't seen SimpleVertex yet.

I definitely see a missing semicolon ; toward the end of main right before return true;.

---

Extra comma is added at the end of last member of the structure. I think this was the mistake.

SimpleVertex vertices[] =
{
    D3DXVECTOR3( 0.0f, 0.5f, 0.5f ),
    D3DXVECTOR3( 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f ),
    D3DXVECTOR3( -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f )**,**
}
