ID3D11Device interface (d3d11.h)
The device interface represents a virtual adapter; it is used to create resources.
Note The latest version of this interface is ID3D11Device5 introduced in the Windows 10 Creators Update. Applications targetting Windows 10 Creators Update should use the ID3D11Device5 interface instead of ID3D11Device.
Inheritance
The ID3D11Device interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. ID3D11Device also has these types of members:
