Remarks

After a render pass the render target contains the color information of a rendered image.

Render targets represent a linear area of display memory and usually resides in the display memory of the display card. Because of this, objects must be recreated when the device is reset.

protected override void GraphicsDeviceResetting()

QuerySelectedFormat(GraphicsDevice, SurfaceFormat)

protected static SurfaceFormat QuerySelectedFormat(GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice, SurfaceFormat preferredFormat)

Parameters

graphicsDevice GraphicsDevice

preferredFormat SurfaceFormat

Returns

SurfaceFormat

Events

ContentLost

Occurs when a graphics device lost event is triggered.

[Obsolete("This is provided for XNA compatibility is never called by MonoGame")]
public event EventHandler<EventArgs> ContentLost

Event Type

EventHandler<EventArgs>

Remarks

This event is never called. It is included for XNA compatibility.
