Members Table

The following table lists the members exposed by the object. Click a tab on the left to choose the type of member you want to view.

Events

Event Description

Disposing Occurs when the Dispose method is called or when the PatchMesh object is finalized and collected by the garbage collector of the .NET common language runtime.

Methods

Method Description

Clone Creates a new patch mesh with the specified vertex declaration.

CreateNPatchMesh Creates an N-patch mesh from a triangle mesh.

Dispose Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by the PatchMesh object.

Equals Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object.

Finalize Allows the PatchMesh object to free resources before it is destroyed by the garbage collector.

FromX Loads a patch mesh from an XFileData object.

GenerateAdjacency Generates adjacency information based on mesh indices.

GetHashCode Returns the hash code for the current instance.

GetObjectByValue This member supports the infrastructure for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

GetTessellateSize Retrieves the size of the tessellated mesh, given a tessellation level.

LockAttributeBuffer Locks the attribute buffer and obtains its memory.

LockAttributeBufferArray Locks the attribute buffer and obtains its memory.

LockIndexBuffer Locks the index buffer.

LockVertexBuffer Locks the vertex buffer.

op_Equality Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same.

op_Inequality Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different.

Optimize Optimizes the patch mesh for efficient tessellation.

PatchMesh Creates a mesh from a control patch mesh.

raise_Disposing Raises the Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.PatchMesh.Disposing event when called from within a derived class.

SetIndexBufferData Sets index buffer data.

SetVertexBufferData Sets vertex buffer data.

Tessellate Performs uniform tessellation based on the tessellation level.

TessellateAdaptive Performs adaptive tessellation based on the z-based adaptive tessellation criterion.

UnlockAttributeBuffer Unlocks the attribute buffer.

UnlockIndexBuffer Unlocks the index buffer.

UnlockVertexBuffer Unlocks the vertex buffer.

UpdateUnmanagedPointer Updates the unmanaged pointer for this PatchMesh object. This method supports the Microsoft .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly in your code.

Validate Validates a patch mesh.
