The parent object of all graphical objects in the scene.

The Device type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	Device	Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the Device structure.

Methods

	Name	Description
	BeginScene	Represents the beginning of a scene.
	CheckCooperativeLevel	Overloaded. Reports the current cooperative-level status of the Direct3D device for a windowed or full-screen application.
	Clear	Overloaded. Clears the viewport or a set of rectangles in the viewport to a specified RGBA color, clears the depth buffer, and erases the stencil buffer.
	ColorFill	Allows an application to fill a rectangular area with a specified color.
	CopyRects	Overloaded. Copies one or more Rectangle objects to a Surface at a specified point.
	CreateDepthStencilSurface	Creates a depth stencil resource.
	CreateImageSurface	Creates a Surface.
	CreateRenderTarget	Creates a render target surface.
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by the Device. This class cannot be inherited.
	DrawIndexedPrimitives	Renders the specified geometric primitive, based on indexing into an array of vertices.
	DrawPrimitives	Renders a sequence of non-indexed geometric primitives of the specified type from the current set of data input streams.
	EndScene	Ends a scene that was started by calling the BeginScene method.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows the Device structure to free resources before it is destroyed by the garbage collector. (Overrides Object.Finalize().)
	GetAvailablePoolMem	Gets the available memory for a Pool enumeration.
	GetBackBuffer	Gets the specified back buffer.
	GetFrontBuffer	Generates a copy of a device's front buffer and places it in a system memory buffer provided by the application.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetInfo	Gets driver information about a device.
	GetPaletteEntries	Retrieves palette entries.
	GetStreamSource	Gets a vertex buffer bound to the specified data stream.
	GetTexture	Gets a texture assigned to a stage for a device.
	GetTransform	Gets a matrix that describes a transformation state.
	GetTransformFixed	Gets a matrix that describes a transformation state for operations that use fixed-point math.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Present	Overloaded. Presents the display with the contents of the next buffer in the sequence of back buffers owned by the device.
	ProcessVertices	Applies the vertex processing defined by the vertex shader to the set of input data streams, and generates a single stream of interleaved vertex data to the destination vertex buffer.
	Reset	Resets the presentation parameters for the current device.
	ResourceManagerDiscardBytes	Instructs the driver to discard bytes of memory from the video pool.
	SetPaletteEntries	Sets the palette entries.
	SetRenderTarget	Sets a new color buffer for a device.
	SetStreamSource	Binds a vertex buffer to a device data stream.
	SetTexture	Assigns a texture to a device stage.
	SetTransform	The type of transform that is being modified.
	SetTransformFixed	The type of transform that is being modified, for fixed-point math operations.
	StretchRectangle	Copies the contents of the source rectangle to the destination rectangle.
	TestCooperativeLevel	Reports the current cooperative-level status of the Direct3D device for a windowed or full-screen application.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	UpdateTexture	Updates the dirty portions of a texture.
	ValidateDevice	Reports the device's ability to render the current texture-blending operations and arguments in a single pass.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ClipStatus	Gets or sets a ClipStatus structure.
	CreationParameters	Gets the creation parameters of the device.
	CurrentTexturePalette	Gets or sets the current texture palette.
	DepthStencilSurface	Gets or sets the depth stencil surface owned by the Device structure.
	DeviceCaps	Gets the capabilities of the rendering device.
	DisplayMode	Gets the display mode's spatial resolution, color resolution, and refresh frequency.
	Indices	Gets or sets index data.
	IsUsingEventHandlers	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the device should use event handlers.
	Lights	Gets the light collection on the current device.
	LightsFixed	Gets the light collection on the current device, using fixed-point math.
	Material	Gets or sets the current material properties for the device.
	MaterialFixed	Gets or sets the current material properties for the device, using fixed-point math.
	PresentationParameters	Gets presentation parameters for a device.
	RenderState	Gets a render-state value for a device.
	TextureState	Gets a state value for an assigned texture.
	Transform	Gets a matrix that describes a transformation state.
	Viewport	Gets or sets the viewport parameters for the current device.

Events

	Name	Description
	DeviceLost	Occurs when a device is about to be lost, such as immediately prior to a reset.
	DeviceReset	Occurs after a device is reset.
	DeviceResizing	Occurs when a device is resizing, allowing the application to cancel the default handling of the resize.
	Disposing	Occurs when the Dispose method is called or when the device object is finalized and collected by the garbage collector.
