GraphicsDevice Members

The following tables list the members exposed by the GraphicsDevice type.

Public Constructors

	Name	Description
	GraphicsDevice	Creates an instance of this object.

Public Properties

	Name	Description
	Adapter	Gets the graphics adapter.
	BlendFactor	Gets or sets the color used for a constant-blend factor during alpha blending. The default value is Color.White.
	BlendState	Gets or sets a system-defined instance of a blend state object initialized for alpha blending. The default value is BlendState.Opaque.
	DepthStencilState	Gets or sets a system-defined instance of a depth-stencil state object. The default value is DepthStencilState.Default.
	DisplayMode	Retrieves the display mode's spatial resolution, color resolution, and refresh frequency.
	GraphicsDeviceStatus	Retrieves the status of the device.
	GraphicsProfile	Gets the graphics profile. The default value is GraphicsProfile.Reach.
	Indices	Gets or sets index data. The default value is null.
	IsDisposed	Gets a value that indicates whether the object is disposed.
	MultiSampleMask	Gets or sets a bitmask controlling modification of the samples in a multisample render target. The default value is -1 (0xffffffff).
	PresentationParameters	Gets the presentation parameters associated with this graphics device.
	RasterizerState	Gets or sets rasterizer state. The default value is RasterizerState.CullCounterClockwise.
	ReferenceStencil	Gets or sets a reference value for stencil testing. The default value is zero.
	SamplerStates	Retrieves a collection of SamplerState objects for the current GraphicsDevice.
	ScissorRectangle	Gets or sets the rectangle used for scissor testing. By default, the size matches the render target size.
	Textures	Returns the collection of textures that have been assigned to the texture stages of the device.
	VertexSamplerStates	Gets the collection of vertex sampler states.
	VertexTextures	Gets the collection of vertex textures that support texture lookup in the vertex shader using the texldl statement. The vertex engine contains four texture sampler stages.
	Viewport	Gets or sets a viewport identifying the portion of the render target to receive draw calls.

Public Methods

	Name	Description
	Clear	Overloaded. Clears resource buffers.
	Dispose	Overloaded. Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by this object.
	DrawIndexedPrimitives	Renders the specified geometric primitive, based on indexing into an array of vertices.
	DrawInstancedPrimitives	Draws a series of instanced models.
	DrawPrimitives	Renders a sequence of non-indexed geometric primitives of the specified type from the current set of data input streams.
	DrawUserIndexedPrimitives	Overloaded. Renders geometric primitives.
	DrawUserPrimitives	Overloaded. Renders geometric primitives.
	Equals	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetBackBufferData	Overloaded. Gets the contents of the back buffer.
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetRenderTargets	Gets a render target surface.
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetVertexBuffers	Gets the vertex buffers.
	Present	Overloaded. Presents the display with the contents of the next buffer in the sequence of back buffers owned by the GraphicsDevice.
	Reset	Overloaded. Resets the presentation parameters for the current GraphicsDevice.
	SetRenderTarget	Overloaded. Sets a new color buffer for a GraphicsDevice.
	SetRenderTargets	Sets an array of render targets.
	SetVertexBuffer	Overloaded. Sets or binds a vertex buffer to a device.
	SetVertexBuffers	Sets the vertex buffers.
	ToString	(Inherited from Object.)

Protected Methods

	Name	Description
	Finalize	Allows this object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before garbage collection reclaims the object.
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)

Public Events

	Name	Description
	DeviceLost	Occurs when a GraphicsDevice is about to be lost (for example, immediately before a reset).
	DeviceReset	Occurs after a GraphicsDevice is reset, allowing an application to recreate all resources.
	DeviceResetting	Occurs when a GraphicsDevice is resetting, allowing the application to cancel the default handling of the reset.
	Disposing	Occurs when Dispose is called or when this object is finalized and collected by the garbage collector of the Microsoft .NET common language runtime.
	ResourceCreated	Occurs when a resource is created.
	ResourceDestroyed	Occurs when a resource is destroyed.

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	SetSharingMode	Enable/disable sharing a graphics device between Silverlight and XNA.
