| Aug 26, 2010 at 4:43 | comment | added | McKay | @ChrisHowe I tried similar stuff, and I tried looking for specifically that, but the closest I could find was StorageContainer.TitleLocation, which was close, but not file load. Looking through the help file you linked was great, but I couldn't get it to work, because it was XNA 4.0 (still in beta), and using C# Express 2008, is still on XNA 3.1, which doesn't support the awesome TitleContainer. Way good document though. Thanks | |
