Syntax

public abstract class Material : SharedDXDeviceResource

The Material type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Effect	Gets or sets the Effect that is used to render this material.
	PreferedShaderQuality	Gets or sets a shader quality that should be used to render this material. When this property is set to any other value than Undefined (by default) it overrides the ShaderQuality setting set in GraphicsProfile.
	Version	Gets the version number of this Material. Version is increased each time the material is changed. Note: When material is changed a lot of times, the Version value can overflow from positive to negative numbers (to prevent problems do not check for bigger value but for not equal value)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clone	Clones the current material with creating a shallow copy of this Material (properties are copied but referenced objects are preserved).
	GetDefaultRenderingQueue	Returns the RenderingQueue that should be used to render this material. The default method implementation returns TransparentRenderingQueue or OtherGeometryRenderingQueue based on the HasTransparency value.
	Refresh	Refresh method regenerates the material and the resources it created.
	ToString	ToString (Overrides ObjectToString)

Events
