Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
DriverInternalErrorException	Internal driver error. Applications should generally shut down when receiving this error.
DeviceLostException	The device is lost but cannot be reset at this time. Therefore, rendering is not possible.
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.

Remarks

If necessary, a stretch operation is applied to transfer the pixels within the source rectangle to the destination rectangle in the client area of the target window.

This method fails and throws an InvalidCallException exception if it is called between BeginScene and EndScene pairs, unless the render target is not the current render target .For example, this can happen with a back buffer that results from the creation of an additional swap chain.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the Present method.

Private Sub Render()
    If device Is Nothing Then
        Return
    End If
    'Clear the backbuffer to a blue color. 
    device.Clear(ClearFlags.Target, System.Drawing.Color.Blue, 1.0F, 0)
    'Begin the scene.
    device.BeginScene()

    'Render scene objects, if desired.
    'End the scene.
    device.EndScene()
    device.Present()

End Sub

private void Render()
{
    if (device == null)
        return;

    //Clear the backbuffer to a blue color. 
    device.Clear(ClearFlags.Target, System.Drawing.Color.Blue, 1.0f, 0);
    //Begin the scene.
    device.BeginScene();

    // Rendering scene objects, if desired.

    //End the scene.
    device.EndScene();
    device.Present();
}
