ContentManager Constructor (IServiceProvider)

  • Article

Initializes a new instance of ContentManager.

Namespace: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content
Assembly: Microsoft.Xna.Framework (in microsoft.xna.framework.dll)

Syntax

public ContentManager (
         IServiceProvider serviceProvider
)

Parameters

  • serviceProvider
    The service provider that the ContentManager should use to locate services.

Exceptions

Exception type Condition
ArgumentNullException The serviceProvider parameter is null.

Remarks

Warning

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.

Example

To create a ContentManager that uses Game.Services:

ContentManager contentManager = new ContentManager( Services );
