Gets a matrix that describes a transformation state.

Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Transform As Transforms
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As Device
Dim value As Transforms

value = instance.Transform

public Transforms Transform { get; }

public:
property Transforms^ Transform {

member Transform : Transforms

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Transforms
A Transforms structure that describes the returned transformation state.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. For example, a parameter might contain an invalid value.

Examples

The following code demonstrates how to use the Transform property.

' This code example is from the Direct3D Mobile Matrices Sample
' in the .NET Compact Framework Samples in the SDK.
Private Sub SetupMatrices()
    ' For the world matrix, rotate the object about the y-axis.
    ' Set up the rotation matrix to generate one full rotation (2*PI radians) 
    ' every 1000 ms. To avoid the loss of precision inherent in very high 
    ' floating-point numbers, the system time is modulated by the rotation 
    ' period before conversion to a radian angle.
    Dim iTime As Integer = Environment.TickCount Mod 1000
    Dim fAngle As Single = iTime * (2.0F * System.Convert.ToSingle(Math.PI)) / 1000.0F
    device.Transform.World = Matrix.RotationY(fAngle)
    ' Set up the view matrix. A view matrix can be defined given an eye point,
    ' a point to lookat, and a direction indicating which way is up. Here, you set
    ' the eye five units back along the z-axis and up three units, look at the
    ' origin, and define "up" to be in the y-direction.
    device.Transform.View = Matrix.LookAtLH(New Vector3(0.0F, 3.0F, -5.0F), New Vector3(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F), New Vector3(0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F))
    ' For the projection matrix, set up a perspective transform (which
    ' transforms geometry from 3-D view space to 2-D viewport space, with
    ' a perspective divide making objects smaller in the distance). To build
    ' a perspective transform, you need the field of view (1/4 PI is common),
    ' the aspect ratio, and the near and far clipping planes (which define
    ' the distances at which geometry should no longer be rendered).
    device.Transform.Projection = Matrix.PerspectiveFovLH(System.Convert.ToSingle(Math.PI) / 4, 1.0F, 1.0F, 100.0F)
End Sub
