[.net] Looking for example, Managed DX9, nice window/full-screen switching
Author
Hiya,
I've looked through the Direct3D books that I have, and they show how to create a windowed app and a full-screen app, but never explain, or show how to, switch between the two in the same program.
Does anyone have or know of a basic Direct3D app that will:
(1) Allow switching between Windowed and Full-Screen mode
(2) Properly handle ALT-TAB
Thanks for any help!

Yes, that's part of the "Properly handle ALT-TAB" feature..
I found a C# example on DrunkenHyena.com here:
http://www.drunkenhyena.com/cgi-bin/view_article.pl?chapter=2;article=10;lang=cs
Which led to me other post on this forum.. I have the latest DX 9.0 SDK (Oct 2004) and when I run the example EXE in the ZIP file provided, the example crashes when you try to run it. BUT, if I open the source project in VS.NET 2003, recompile and run, it works fine. Trying to understand what's going on with that..

It can't find the Direct3D assembly. The author may have used a different version (the assembly is probably strongly named) or a direct3d dll in a different location.
Microsoft recently released a December update to the DirectX SDK.
There are lots of samples of this in various books, but I had a great deal of trouble actually implementing it once my application got beyond a certain size. I got all sorts of problems including texture tearing and various generic DirectX errors that were just impossible to debug. I just switched to using the sample framework Microsoft provides in their SDK and now it is all taken care of for me.
