PrimitiveBatch

PrimitiveBatch uses several classes/structs/enums that can't be found when I build my game. But, they are all listed in the MSDN Library under Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics, which PrimitiveBatch is using.

VertexPositionColor
VertexDeclaration
BasicEffect
PrimitiveType

The MSDN Library only has documentation for XNA Game Studio 2.0. Are these not in the CTP yet?

PrimitiveBatch is used to send data to the 3D graphics chip.

The Zune has no graphics chip. MS announced that you can only draw graphics on the Zune using SpriteBatch.

So the only way to draw vector graphics is by scaling and rotating a 1 pixel texture?

No, you can directly access and manipulate the "pixels" of the textures/rendertargets, thus you are able to make your own line, rectangle or circle functions. I need to get to the office now, so I don't have time to explain right now... If nobody else explains here until I'm back then I will do later.

Greetings,
Dirk
