public Game1()
{
new GraphicsDeviceManager(this)
{
// initialize a fullscreen backbuffer at the current display size
PreferredBackBufferWidth = GraphicsAdapter.DefaultAdapter.CurrentDisplayMode.Width,
PreferredBackBufferHeight = GraphicsAdapter.DefaultAdapter.CurrentDisplayMode.Height,
IsFullScreen = true
};

Content.RootDirectory = “Content”;
}

I have missed something here in C# all this time… What is going on with the 1st line of code after the Constructor? I don’t understand what GraphicsDeviceManager is being assigned to… Could you please let me know what you are doing here and how this kind of syntax is used… Is there a Microsoft reference to this sort of thing, because I’m not used to creating an object without an object reference…

The code works, I just don’t know how to do this sort of thing else where or how to set it up!

I’m creating the render target like this

PresentationParameters pp = GraphicsDevice.PresentationParameters;
lightMap = new RenderTarget2D(GraphicsDevice, pp.BackBufferWidth, pp.BackBufferHeight, 1, SurfaceFormat.Color, pp.MultiSampleType, pp.MultiSampleQuality);
