+BackgroundThreadSample
+======================
+
+This sample demonstrates the loading of assets in a background thread.
+
+Sample originally created by CircleOf14 and modified by Kenneth Pouncey to create new textures to be added
+to the game components dynamically in the background.
+
+Of special interest look at the following methods:
+
+CreateBackgroundThread () - Creates a thread to be executed in the background and starts it.
+BackgroundWorkerThread () - Worker thread that actually does the work of creating the new asset and adding
+
+Make sure to read the comments in these two methods.
