I took it upon myself to teach myself some directx and run into a bit of a problem. Until now I have been using "D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx" to load textures. I wanted to try out a manual approach to get a better understanding of image formats and pixels so I am creating a function that loads a bitmap. I am loading ARGB 32 bit bitmaps and loading them as textures using CreateTexture. However they come out completely upside down for some reason. I was just going to write a function for flipping the pixels but I thought I would get a real solution rather than a quick fix. Here is a code snippet

void Bitmap::ConvertToTexture(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pD3DDevice, IDirect3DTexture9 **ppTexture, D3DSURFACE_DESC *pTextureDesc)
{
	pD3DDevice->CreateTexture(pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth, pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight, 1, 0, D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, ppTexture, NULL);
	if (*ppTexture == NULL)
	{
	  throw Exception(L"Bitmap::ConvertToTexture - Failed to create texture");
	}
	pTextureDesc->Width = pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth;
	pTextureDesc->Height = pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight;
	pTextureDesc->Format = D3DFMT_UNKNOWN;
	D3DLOCKED_RECT d3dlr;
	(*ppTexture)->LockRect(0, &d3dlr, 0, 0);
	memcpy(d3dlr.pBits, pBitmapData + pBitmapFileHeader->bfOffBits, pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth * pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight * 4);
	(*ppTexture)->UnlockRect(0);
}

Here is also a file to show what bitmap format I am dealing with.

Here is what I did to fix it for now.

void Bitmap::ConvertToTexture(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pD3DDevice, IDirect3DTexture9 **ppTexture, D3DSURFACE_DESC *pTextureDesc)
{
    pD3DDevice->CreateTexture(pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth, pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight, 1, 0, D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, ppTexture, NULL);
    if (*ppTexture == NULL)
    {
      throw Exception(L"Bitmap::ConvertToTexture - Failed to create texture");
    }
    pTextureDesc->Width = pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth;
    pTextureDesc->Height = pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight;
    pTextureDesc->Format = D3DFMT_UNKNOWN;
    D3DLOCKED_RECT d3dlr; 
    (*ppTexture)->LockRect(0, &d3dlr, 0, 0);
    //memcpy(d3dlr.pBits, pBitmapData + pBitmapFileHeader->bfOffBits, pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth * pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight * 4);
    PDWORD pdwDest = (PDWORD)d3dlr.pBits;
    PDWORD pdwSrc = (PDWORD)(pBitmapData + pBitmapFileHeader->bfOffBits);
    DWORD dwPixels = pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth * pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight;
    for (int x = 0, rx = (dwPixels) - (pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth); x < dwPixels; x += pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth, rx -= pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth)
    {
      memcpy(pdwDest + x, pdwSrc + rx, pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth * 4);
    }
    (*ppTexture)->UnlockRect(0);
}

The bmp format stores scanlines bottom to top, while D3D textures are top to bottom.

As a separate note, you need to take into account the Pitch of the locked rectangle. It is the texture's scanline memory width, and is often greater than width*bytesperpixel, especially if (but not limited to the scenario where) the width is not a power of two.
