Device.Present Method

Language:

Presents the display with the contents of the next buffer in the sequence of back buffers owned by the device.

Definition

Visual Basic Public Sub Present()
C# public void Present();
C++ public:
void Present();
JScript public function Present();

Remarks

If necessary, a stretch operation is applied to transfer the pixels within the source rectangle to the destination rectangle in the client area of the target window.

This method fails, throwing an InvalidCallException exception, if it is called between BeginScene and EndScene pairs, unless the render target is not the current render target (for example, the back buffer that results from the creation of an additional swap chain).

Exceptions
DriverInternalErrorException Internal driver error. Applications should generally shut down when receiving this error.
DeviceLostException The device is lost but cannot be reset at this time. Therefore, rendering is not possible.
InvalidCallException The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.
