Tutorial for 1.6 uses GetEvent, method is protected in API

[lightstar]

I've been looking at some of the examples, and putting together a skeleton application. I'm using version 1.6 of the .NET bindings.

In this page: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/window-events.php the events are handled with GetEvent in the loop:

sf::Event Event;
while (App.GetEvent(Event))
{
    // Window closed
    if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
        Running = false;
}

but the sample code, see https://github.com/SFML/SFML.Net/blob/master/examples/window/Window.cs uses DispatchEvents as GetEvent is protected now.

Is the tutorial just out of date? What is the recommended method?

Also, the event handlers such as:

       
static void OnClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Window window = (Window)sender;
    window.Close();
}
 

require a cast on the sender. Is there no way to avoid this side-stepping the type system?

The tutorial is for C++, the /Net APi is slightly different -- that's why there are examples and an API doc.

The cast is required, this is the standard way of writing event handlers (ie. taking an Object argument instead of a typed one).

Great, thanks for the reply. I am up and running now.
