Subject: Re: [GD-Windows] .NET main loop

You have an alternative method to do the main loop. You can insert a
delegate that executes in the idle time of the form. Here are an example but
it's write on C# (I use C++ managed too, but with opengl instead dx)

To find the section quickly: CTRL + F and search for "static void main"
