Example

The vertex buffer and index data of the graphics device must be set before any call to DrawIndexedPrimitives. The following example sets the index data and vertex buffer.

VertexBuffer  vertexBuffer = new VertexBuffer(GraphicsDevice, typeof(VertexPositionColor), 8, BufferUsage.None);

vertexBuffer.SetData<VertexPositionColor>(primitiveList);

IndexBuffer  lineListIndexBuffer = new IndexBuffer(
    GraphicsDevice,
    IndexElementSize.SixteenBits,
    sizeof(short) * lineListIndices.Length,
    BufferUsage.None);

lineListIndexBuffer.SetData<short>(lineListIndices);

GraphicsDevice.Indices = lineListIndexBuffer;
GraphicsDevice.SetVertexBuffer(vertexBuffer);
GraphicsDevice.DrawIndexedPrimitives(PrimitiveType.LineList, 0, 0, 8, 0, 7);
