|---|---|---|
 | BeginScene()()() |
Begins a scene.
|
| Clear(ClearFlags, Color, Single, Byte) |
Clear the currently bound render target, depth buffer and/or stencil buffers.
|
| CopyResource(IResource, IResource) |
Copy a resource to another resource.
|
| CopySubresource(IResource, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, IResource, Int32, Box) |

|
| CreateBuffer(Int32, Usage, BindFlags, CPUAccessFlags) |

|
| CreateDepthStencilView(IResource) |
Create a depth and/or stencil view from a resource for a later call to SetRenderTargets.
|
| CreateInputLayout(VertexDeclaration, IShader) |
Create an input-layout object that describe how the bound vertex buffers are organized.
|
| CreateProgram()()() |
