Public methodApplyRenderingItemMaterial ApplyRenderingItemMaterial method sets the EffectTechnique, MaterialDescriptorSets and StateSortValue properties on the specified renderingItem.
(Overrides EffectApplyRenderingItemMaterial(RenderingItem, Material, RenderingContext))
Public methodCleanup Cleanup method checks all memory blocks. Memory block is freed when it is empty and freeEmptyMemoryBlocks is true or when it empty for at least EngineRuntimeOptions.FramesCountToReleaseEmptyMemoryBlock frames.
(Overrides EffectCleanup(Boolean, Boolean))
Public methodStatic memberCreateNew Creates a new instance of SpriteEffect
Protected methodDispose

(Overrides EffectInitializeMaterial(Material))
Public methodOnBeginUpdate OnBeginUpdate method needs to be implemented by the effect class. The method is called from the BeginUpdate(RenderingContext) method. It can be used to read some data from the RenderingContext (for example CurrentSwapChainImageIndex). It is used with the OnEndUpdate method to prepare all the data for the next rendered frame.
(Overrides EffectOnBeginUpdate(RenderingContext))
Public methodOnEndUpdate OnEndUpdate method needs to be implemented by the effect class. The method is called from the EndUpdate method. This method can update the material's buffers in case any of the material was changed.
