Hi,

Also remember it is not good to kill the window on which the Direct3D Device
has been created before killing the device itself. WITH a USER CONTROL, that
MAY happen when you switch from the design mode to debug-run mode, since the
UC embedded in the form, is really running, when the form and the overall
environment is ... in design. That makes UC a little bit harder to work,
with Direct3D, than for other controls (that don't "run" when "you, as
developer" are in design mode of the application, but in run mode, for the
UC)... Even if it is really impressive to see Direct3D rendering in the
UC... while in design mode.

Hoping it may help,
