Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
ToString | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |

Remarks
To obtain an AccelerometerReading object, create an Accelerometer object and then use the CurrentValue property or implement a handler for the CurrentValueChanged event.
