Hey all,

In the good old Win32 ways of doing things, I could control the frame rate of the game by adding something similar to the following to the main application's message loop:

(Toggle Plain Text)

dwTime = GetTickCount();
if(dwTime - dwPrevTime > 40) {
  Render();
  dwPrevTime = dwTime;
}

How would I go about getting this sort of control using C# and the .NET framework?

I suppose you'd create a Timer control, and stick the call to the Render() function inside the event function.
