Sets a new color buffer for a device.

Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub SetRenderTarget ( _
    renderTarget As Surface, _
    newZStencil As Surface _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As Device 
Dim renderTarget As Surface 
Dim newZStencil As Surface

instance.SetRenderTarget(renderTarget, _
    newZStencil)

public void SetRenderTarget(
    Surface renderTarget,
    Surface newZStencil
)

public:
void SetRenderTarget(
    Surface^ renderTarget, 
    Surface^ newZStencil
)

public function SetRenderTarget(
    renderTarget : Surface, 
    newZStencil : Surface
)

Parameters

renderTarget
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Surface

An index Surface of the render target.

newZStencil
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Surface

A new color buffer Surface. If set to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the color buffer for the corresponding renderTarget is disabled. Devices must always be associated with a color buffer.

The new render-target surface must have at least Usage specified.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. Either renderTarget is null and newZStencil = 0, or renderTarget is not null and the render target is invalid.

Remarks

The device can support multiple render targets. Some hardware tests the compatibility of the depth stencil buffer with the color buffer. If this is done, it is done only in a debug build. The following restrictions apply when using this method:

The MultiSampleType type must be the same for the render target and the depth stencil surface.
The formats must be compatible for the render target and the depth stencil surface. For more information, see CheckDepthStencilMatch.
The size of the depth stencil surface must be greater than or equal to the size of the render target.

These restrictions are validated only when using the debug runtime when any of the Device drawing methods are called.
