Unfortunately many XNA sites have gone down recently, If you know any, please do list them here and I can check to see if the wayback machine has cached them, er or you could also do that and link those sites…

Yup, the xna archive contains all the original xna documentation, education and samples, as well as a lot more, such as some of ziggware, dxa and more

Came across this channel and thought everyone on here may find it useful.

Unsure if already posted this in here, wish there was a way to search a thread post, either way, wanted to add this here either way.

#132

I believe there is… Search-button on the top-right next to your image and the burger-button.
Then tick the ‘search this topic’ checkbox. Voila.

This was so cool i have to post it somewere lol.

I found this snippet below.
When trying to figure out how to do a compile time type inference on another instance and store it. When within a derived class that is inheriting from a abstract base. Which meant the former had to take a unknown generic type and hold it at compile time while still acting like a proper derivitive of the abstract base. So that it could still be a child or parent node of any other type that derived from the abstract type or act as one itself.
Crazy anyways.

This helped a lot.

// infer type without reflection.
public static class TargetTypeInferenceExtension
{
    public class TargetType<T>
    {
        public T Target { get; set; }
        public TargetType(T wrappedInstance)
        {
            Target = wrappedInstance;
        }
    }
    public static TargetType<T> GetTarget<T>(this T itemInstance)
    {
        return Create(itemInstance);
    }
    private static TargetType<T> Create<T>(T itemInstance)
    {
        return new TargetType<T>(itemInstance);
    }     
}

Thanks to joe.

Not MonoGame-based, but I found this tool excellent. It allows you to detect in compile time all kinds of boxing and memory allocations.

I haven’t been able to make it work with VS2017, but works very well with VS2019.
