) : Mesh

Parameters

device
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Device

A Device object that represents the device associated with the created cylinder mesh.

radius1
Type: System.Single

Radius at the negative Z end. Value should be greater than or equal to 0.0f.

radius2
Type: System.Single

Radius at the positive Z end. Value should be greater than or equal to 0.0f.

length
Type: System.Single

Length of the cylinder along the z-axis.

slices
Type: System.Int32

Number of slices around the main axis.

stacks
Type: System.Int32

Number of stacks along the main axis.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Mesh
A Mesh object that represents the cylinder mesh.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter may contain an invalid value.
OutOfMemoryException	Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.

Remarks

The created cylinder is centered at the origin, and its axis is aligned with the z-axis.
