Device Lost/Reset

[rifter1818]

Im currently Just trying to get the most basic support for loosing a device and regaining it (Stupid alt tab make my life so much harder) Anyways Right now the only handling i have is writing to debug when the device is lost/reset, the problem is it doesnt seem to register that the device is lost until i alt tab back into the program at which point it immidiatly resets the device, but it doesnt work. Anyone here care to lend me a helping hand on this one?

First make sure you're using debug libraries as pointed out in another thread. First thing to check is if you release all resources in default pool. Other than that debug output will give you the most information.

Stupid Question but

How do i release the resources?

You call Dispose on them.

Overall it's a good article (all of that series are actually), but if you use it in a full-screen setup your app will crash. None of Craig's articles/samples use full-screen.
