- Create single platform config named x86 and have all projects target x86.
- Remove Release config (broken anyway).
- For the Debug config, ensure TRACE and DEBUG constants are set and unsafe code is allowed for all projects (same as the makefile).
- Warn level 4 and optimizations off were removed from the config automatically by VS (it assumes these values by default, and these match the makefile).
- The CrashDialog project can reuse the icon from the Game project as long as the path is set correctly.
- Fix TS project so it builds (I know it's going but its annoying that the project must be unloaded).
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
Create a single solution platform named x86.
Ensure both Debug and Release configs build to the root for all projects.
Ensure all Release configs generate pdbs.
