XNA 2.0 and Drawable Game Components

Richthofen — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 18:28:00 GMT

So I recently updated my XNA project to 2.0 to take advantage of the cool networking libraries and such. However, now I've noticed that game components I add to the component list no longer automatically begin calling their draw methods once they're added. Perhaps previously I was implementing DrawableGameComponents wrong, but I was under the assumption that once you add them to the components list, they automagically draw themselves. They did in 1.0, and now in 2.0 I have to manually call their .Draw method. Maybe the XNA community can help out with this?

UPDATE: This article by a member of the XNA team may shed light on my problem. there's a property of a DrawableGameComponent called 'Visible'... it may have been set default true in 1.0 and 2.0 its no longer default enabled.
