Is it possible to make a full screen program (game) in C# ? I started
reading "mastering C#" book few days ago and I'm up to page 100 right now.
I looked at the forward chapters and it doesn't seem to write anything
about that.
Here is a little example of what I mean, done in PureBasic : http://rapidshare.de/files-en/263361/Examples.rar.html
If it is possible, where can I download some simple
C# code examples on that ? 4  3562 
Yes it's possible.
You could write a lame but easy to write game using GDI+, or you could write
a commercial quality game using DirectX managed. Display mode switches will
probably be DirectX or Win32.
If you do pure GDI+, you'd have to fake fullscreen by creating a window with
dimensions equal to the screen, set always on top, and start drawing on
that. Framerates will suck bigtime.
Avalon intends to bridge the gap between GDI+ and DirectX.

No, I don't want to fake fullscreen, I want real one.
Where can I find some example on that ?
Also, what is Avalon and what is it's homepage ?

Get the DirectX 9.0 SDK from microsoft, there are plenty of examples
with that.
Also check out the web site http://www.drunkenhyena.com
loads of tutorials. Some in C#
Another aproach would be to use OpenGL, but I know very little about
that.

Avalon is what was going to be released with longhorn, but will now be
available for XP also.
There is a preview sdk download available for MSDN subscribers only, and by
no means it is ready for a production app.

Hi,
I am pretty poor at JavaScript so if this is a stupid question I apologise
in advance.
I am wanting to make the index.html page of a site open the browser up in
Full screen mode.
I understand I can do this when the viewer clicks a link to the page but I
want it to happen when the viewer comes to the site by either typing the
address in or a link from another source.

It is possible to use martingale probability theory to beat some games
of chance. In a fair game of coin toss, where the odds reach an
equilibrium of 50/50 chain reactions do occur. This can be explained
using martingale probability theory, but in simpler terms it only shows
an example of how order emerges out of chaos.
Example: One player has 3 pennies, and another player has only 1 penny.

Hello everyone,
I have a small application I wrote that sits in the systray and pops open a
small window if an event occurs. Works fine, except when I'm playing games.
:) If I have a fullscreen application going, the popup will steal focus
almost randomly causing the game to minimize. This is extremely annoying. Is
there a way to detect if anything is running in fullscreen mode? That way I

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
