[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

This namespace provides Direct3D application programming for Pocket PCs, Smartphones, and other devices running Windows CE with the .NET Compact Framework.

This namespace provides mobile application developers a low-level graphics application programming interface (API) that enables you to manipulate visual models of 3-D objects and take advantage of hardware acceleration.
