Rendering using my own vertex format (managed DX)
Author
Hi, I''ve got some code problems, it seems like the error occours on my Lock-Call for my vertex-buffer...
please take a look at my code below, thank you!
''My vertex structure
Public Structure myVertFormat
Dim x As Single
Dim y As Single
Dim z As Single
Dim tx As Single
Dim ty As Single
Public Const myVFfvf As VertexFormats = VertexFormats.Position Or VertexFormats.Texture0
Public Const myVFsize As Long = 20
Public Sub New(ByVal nX As Single, ByVal nY As Single, ByVal nZ As Single, ByVal nTX As Single, ByVal nTY As Single)
Me.x = nX
Me.y = nY
Me.z = nZ
Me.tx = nTX
Me.ty = nTY
End Sub
End Structure
''Create the VB
vbCube = New VertexBuffer(D3DDev, myVertFormat.myVFsize * 36, Usage.WriteOnly, myVertFormat.myVFfvf, Pool.Managed)
''...and Lock it
Dim vCube As myVertFormat() = CType(vbCube.Lock(0, LockFlags.None), myVertFormat())
This looks like nearly the same problem another poster was having with index buffers: http://gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=135054
If you create a VertexBuffer or IndexBuffer using one of the constructors that doesn''t take a Type parameter, then when you Lock you must either 1) use the Lock method that *does* take a Type, or 2) use the Lock that returns a GraphicsStream. In order for Lock to return an Array, it has to know the type of the elements in the array. If it never gets that information, it can''t create it.
At least that''s my understanding at this point. I don''t know if this is by design (and will eventually be documented) or if it''s a bug.
