Hello Chad,

Although I can get my code to build, I get the following error when trying to run the game:

Error    1    'XELibrary.SkyboxReader' does not implement inherited abstract member 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentTypeReader<XELibrary.Skybox>.Read(Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentReader, XELibrary.Skybox)'    C:\Users\Tomer\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Load3DObject - Copy\XELibrary\SkyboxReader.cs    13    18    XELibrary

the error goes away when I change the class to abstract. however I get another error but in the main game's LoadContent method on the following statement:

skybox = Content.Load<Skybox>(@"Skyboxes\skybox");

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentLoadException was unhandled

I've compiled everything in 3.1 (if it give you any clues)

Thanks,
