    I have my background loading, but how do I load my player character? I'm on chapter 7 in Build a Program Now XNA Game Studio 3.0 by Rob Miles. I decieded to make a small game for practice.

    Assuming you're talking about 2D, both your background and character would both be sprites, so they'd be loaded in the same way - Content.Load<Texture2D>(@"MyFolder\MyAssetName");

    I would also have a look at the getting started pages in the XNA Documentation as there are some basics there that will help. Also you should make sure that you are drawing the sprites in the correct order, for example the background should be drawn first followed by the charcater sprites.

    Select the image file in the Solution Explorer. One of the options in the Properties box is to set the transparent color.

    I don't see such an option. What is the name?

    I found the solution, elsewhere on the forum.
