XNA framework

I just read the blog of Jan Schreuder and I totally agree with him. Actually I also have to get something of my chest. Let me start by dropping the following statement: Developing software is not about showing to your colleagues or superiors how much extremely complex code you can put in one class. But...

Resource Class Generator
Rene showed me the existence of the ResourceClassGenerator. This custom tool generates a typed class of your resources. That way you don't have to look in the Resource files to get the name of the resource, because you use intellisense from your code. Because of that there is no risk of looking up a... Read More...
