Sprite Class
Provides methods and properties that simplify the process of drawing sprites using Direct3D.
Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in microsoft.windowsmobile.directx.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class Sprite
Implements IDisposable
'Usage
Dim instance As Sprite
public sealed class Sprite : IDisposable
public ref class Sprite sealed : IDisposable
public final class Sprite implements IDisposable
public final class Sprite implements IDisposable
Remarks
A sprite is a texture mapped to a 2-D surface. Typically used for animation and billboarding, since multiple sprites can move within a larger image.
Typically, the application first calls Begin, which allows control over the device render state, alpha blending, and sprite transformation and sorting. Then, for each sprite to display, the application calls Draw, which can be called repeatedly to store any number of sprites. To display the batched sprites to the device, the application calls End or Flush.

Example
The following code example shows how to create a sprite. For more information about creating and using sprites see How to: Use Sprites.
present = New PresentParameters()
present.BackBufferCount = 1
present.BackBufferFormat = dispmode.Format
present.BackBufferHeight = dispmode.Height
present.BackBufferWidth = dispmode.Width
present.SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Discard
device = New Device(Manager.Adapters.Default.Adapter, DeviceType.Default, Me, CreateFlags.None, present)
sprite = New Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Sprite(device)
present = new PresentParameters();
present.BackBufferCount = 1;
present.BackBufferFormat = dispmode.Format;
present.BackBufferHeight = dispmode.Height;
present.BackBufferWidth = dispmode.Width;
present.SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Discard;
device = new Device(Manager.Adapters.Default.Adapter, DeviceType.Default, this, CreateFlags.None, present);
sprite = new Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Sprite(device);
