When creating a new ContentManager, if no instance of Game is otherwise required by the application, it is often better to create a new class that implements the IServiceProvider interface rather than creating an instance of Game just to create a new instance of GraphicsDeviceManager. |
By default, the ContentManager searches for content in the directory where the executable is located.
To create a ContentManager that uses Game.Services:
ContentManager contentManager = new ContentManager( Services );
