a link to a downloadable version of the information would be great for view offline

A pointer to the download page would be very useful

Is there anywhere that you can find out how to do the things you used to be able to do in 3.1 but cant do in 4.0 because the methods have been removed?

Please help?$0 $0$0 $0 $0spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend, SpriteSortMode.Deferred, SaveStateMode.SaveState);$0 $0$0 $0 $0Thanks$0 $0

Projects with XnaPlatform="Windows" and XnaFrameworkVersion="v3.1" are unsupported by your installation of XNA Game Studio.

So it will be nice if you can fix this.

I understand you are using vs2008 and xna gs 4.0.

To walk around this, the vs2010 user should create new windows game project and replace Game1 class from the example, into Game1.cs new created project. Add needed files to content, run and enjoy.

I have installed the Visual Studio 2010 CTP.  Afterwards,  There are a couple of websites (work related) that fail to work properly.  I have no idea if the problem is related to the VS 2010 installation but I've tried to uninstall and GAWD what a mess !!!

Can anyone point me to the XNAGS40_setup.exe download?

Uninstalling this stuff from Control Panel isn't removing anything, XNA and VC 2010 refuse to be removed.
