| offset | The offset to use for the slice, measured in elements of the specified type. |
BufferSlice<T> A typed slice aliasing the BufferID.
Constructs a typed slice from the BufferID.
Creates a BufferSlice that provides a typed view into the buffer starting at the specified offset. This is a convenience method equivalent to constructing a BufferSlice manually.
The offset is measured in elements of type T, not in bytes. This method provides type safety and helps prevent common offset calculation errors.
Additional resources: BufferSlice for detailed slice operations and examples.
// Create a large buffer for mixed data BufferID sharedBuffer = context.CreateBuffer(1000, sizeof(float));
// Create slices using the convenience method var firstSection = sharedBuffer.Slice<float>(0); // Elements 0-299 var secondSection = sharedBuffer.Slice<Vector3>(300); // Elements 300-399 as Vector3s
// Equivalent to manual BufferSlice construction var manualSlice = new BufferSlice<float>(sharedBuffer, 0); Debug.Assert(firstSection.Id.Value == manualSlice.Id.Value); Debug.Assert(firstSection.Offset == manualSlice.Offset);
