Adding Window Resizing Functionality

To add player window resizing to a game

1. Derive a class from Game.

2. Set Game.GameWindow.AllowUserResizing to true.

3. Add an event handler for the ClientSizeChanged event of Game.Window.

   this.Window.AllowUserResizing = true;
   this.Window.ClientSizeChanged += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(Window_ClientSizeChanged);
   

4. Implement a method to handle the ClientSizeChanged event of Game.Window.

   void Window_ClientSizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       // Make changes to handle the new window size.            
   }
