    <p>You would probably want to use a DrawableGameObject</p> <pre><code>public class Snowman : DrawableGameObject { private Camera cam = new Camera(); //Model snowMan; //Matrix[] snowManMatrix; public Model snowMan {get;set;}; public Matrix[] snowManMatrix{get;set;}; protected override void LoadContent() { //snowMan = Content.Load&lt;Model&gt;( "Models\\snowman" ); snowManMatrix = new Matrix[ snowMan.Bones.Count ]; snowMan.CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo( snowManMatrix ); } public void DrawSnowMan(Model model, GameTime gameTime) { foreach (ModelMesh mesh in model.Meshes) { Matrix world, scale, translation; scale = Matrix.CreateScale(0.02f, 0.02f, 0.02f); translation = Matrix.CreateScale(0.0f, 0.7f, -4.0f); world = scale * translation; foreach (BasicEffect effect in mesh.Effects) { effect.World = snowManMatrix[mesh.ParentBone.Index] * world; effect.View = cam.viewMatrix; effect.Projection = cam.projectionMatrix; effect.EnableDefaultLighting(); } mesh.Draw(); } } protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime) { DrawSnowMan( snowMan, gameTime ); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>In Game1.cs</strong></p> <p>Initialize</p> <pre><code> Snowman snowDude= new Snowman(); Components.Add(snowDude); </code></pre> <p>And move </p> <pre><code> //snowDude = Content.Load&lt;Model&gt;( "Models\\snowman" ); snowDude.snowMan = Content.Load&lt;Model&gt;( "Models\\snowman" ); </code></pre> <p>into Game1's LoadContent</p> <p>Adding to Components means that snowDude's Update and Draw are called whenever Game1's is. I am honestly not 100% on in what order though. I believe Load Content should be called as well but I think it is better practice (at least while you're learning) to import all of your sounds/animations/sprites in the same place (in your main file) so that you know exactly what is being called and when.</p> <p><strong>OR</strong> instead of Components.Add(snowDude);</p> <p>You can just call snowDude.Draw(gametime) in Game1's Draw Method. and snowDude.Update() in Game1's Update method.</p> <p>And otherwise I agree with Brent. If there are only Snowmen then you should be fine with only one class but if you start adding more there will be a lot of overlap, so making an Enemy Class</p> <pre><code>public class Enemy: DrawableGameObject{} </code></pre> <p>and changing SnowMan to </p> <pre><code>public class SnowMan:Enemy{} </code></pre> <p>should be appropriate.</p>

    1. COWOW thank you SO MUCH Reafexus! That is definitely what I was looking for! I did run into some errors though, if I declare the Snowman 'snowDude' into Initialize, snowDude .Content.Load... in LoadContent, I get an error saying that 'object does not exist in this context'. Moving the declaration of snowDude to the top of the code just above the constructor will get rid of that error, but bring two more (cannot change access modifiers when overriding 'public' inherited member' and 'Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Model' to 'FINALPROJECT.Snowman'

    2. COI made a few changes. The first is just good practice but I am not 100% will fix the first error but the second should almost definitely fix the 2nd. I misread the code. Instead of snowDude, it should have been snowDude.snowMan in the LoadContent Line. Because snowMan is the model. SnowDude is the actual SnowMan. The first thing I fixed was added 'public' and getters and setters to your variables which should allow better access to them. When a variable has no 'public' or 'private' it is actually 'default' which is kind of funky to work with especially since you probably want 'public' anyway.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
