[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
Renders a sequence of non-indexed geometric primitives of the specified type from the current set of data input streams.
Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration

'Usage
Dim instance As Device
Dim primitiveType As PrimitiveType
Dim startVertex As Integer
Dim primitiveCount As Integer
instance.DrawPrimitives(primitiveType, _

public:

PrimitiveType primitiveType,
int startVertex,
int primitiveCount
)
member DrawPrimitives :
primitiveType:PrimitiveType *
startVertex:int *
primitiveCount:int -> unit
Parameters
- primitiveType
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.PrimitiveType
A member of the PrimitiveType enumerated type that describes the type of primitive to render.
- startVertex
Type: System.Int32
An index of the first vertex to load. Beginning at startVertex, the correct number of vertices is read out of the vertex buffer.
- primitiveCount
Type: System.Int32
A number of primitives to render. To determine the maximum number of primitives allowed, check MaxPrimitiveCount. The primitiveCount is the number of primitives as determined by the primitive type. If it is a line list, each primitive has two vertices. If it is a triangle list, each primitive has three vertices.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidCallException | The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value. |
Remarks
This method should not be called with a single triangle at a time.
