I want to be able to change the window size dynamically. Basically I want the user to have the option of changing the resolutions.

The first issue I was having was the newly re-sized window would be black, not showing any sprites, even though I was reloading the correct new images.

The bigger issue is an AccessViolationException that occurs on DarkGDK.Core.Sync() after the window changes size. Here is the code I am using the change the window size...

+ Code Snippet

            bool hasRes = DarkGDK.Display.CheckDisplayMode(width, height, 32);

            if (hasRes)
            {
                DarkGDK.Display.SetDisplayMode(width, height, 32);
            }

            DarkGDK.Display.SetWindowPosition((DarkGDK.Display.DesktopWidth() / 2) - (width / 2),
                (DarkGDK.Display.DesktopHeight() - height) / 2);

Does anyone know how I can dynamically change the window size?

Solved my own problem....

You need to include...

DarkGDK.Display.SetWindowSize(width, height);

..in addition to SetDisplayMode(). Remember to reload your assets to load the correct images based on your new resolution.

So the whole function would be...

            bool hasRes = DarkGDK.Display.CheckDisplayMode(width, height, 32);

            if (hasRes)
            {
                DarkGDK.Display.SetDisplayMode(width, height, 32);
                DarkGDK.Display.SetWindowSize(width, height);
                DarkGDK.Display.SetWindowPosition((DarkGDK.Display.DesktopWidth() / 2) - (width / 2),
                    (DarkGDK.Display.DesktopHeight() - height) / 2);
                reloadAssets();
            }
            else
            {
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Resolution not supported");
            }
