MDX C# IndexBuffers
Author
I am converting my 1.1 application over to 2.0. I finally got it to compile but it is now failing on my DrawIndexedPrimitives call. The error message is unhelpful "error in application".
Here is where it is failing upon execution:
private void DrawIHex(float x, float y, float z, Texture t)
{
device.Transform.World = Matrix.Translation(x, y, z);
//fill hex with texture
device.VertexFormat = PositionTextured.Format;
device.SetTexture(0, t);
device.DrawIndexedPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, 0, 7, 0, 6);
}
//index buffer for hex
private static readonly short[] hexindices = {0,1,2, 0,2,3, 0,3,4, 0,4,5, 0,5,6, 0,6,1 };
This is my new vertexbuffer creation function:
private void OnVertexBufferCreate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
VertexBuffer buffer = (VertexBuffer)sender;
//buffer.SetData(GetHexVertsIB(),0,LockFlags.None);
GraphicsBuffer<PositionTextured> stm = buffer.Lock<PositionTextured>(0, 0, LockFlags.None);
stm.Write(GetHexVertsIB());
buffer.Unlock();
}
This is my "new" indexbuffer creation function:
private void OnIndexBufferCreate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IndexBuffer buffer = (IndexBuffer)sender;
//buffer.SetData(hexindices, 0, LockFlags.None);
GraphicsBuffer stm = buffer.Lock<short>(0, 0, LockFlags.None);
stm.GetBuffer<short>().Write(hexindices);
buffer.Unlock();
}
Here is the verts function used above:
public PositionTextured[] GetHexVertsIB()
{
//fewer vertexes for use in an index buffer
//create a vertex buffer for Hex
//make a flat hex. 6 triangles
PositionTextured[] verts = new PositionTextured[7];
verts[0] = new PositionTextured(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f,0.5f, 0.5f);
verts[1] = new PositionTextured(0.0f,2.0f,1.0f,0.0f, 0.5f);
verts[2] = new PositionTextured(-1.732051f,1.0f,1.0f,0.25f, 0.0f);
verts[3] = new PositionTextured(-1.732051f,-1.0f,1.0f,0.75f, 0.0f);
verts[4] = new PositionTextured(0.0f,-2.0f,1.0f,1.0f, 0.5f);
verts[5] = new PositionTextured(1.732051f,-1.0f,1.0f,0.75f, 1.0f);
verts[6] = new PositionTextured(1.732051f,1.0f,1.0f,0.25f, 1.0f);
return verts;
}//end gethexverts
Can't say for sure. Nothing jumps right out at me, but maybe the name of the exception thrown would give a clue as to what the problem might be.

Thanks for the replies.
I call my SetStreamSource and Indices in my OnPaint override. i.e.
device.SetStreamSource(0, vb, 0);
device.Indices = ibHex;
As for error messages I don't get much. I just installed VS 2005 as well so I am still getting used to the debugging environment. The error window comes up with a "InvalidCallException was unhandled" at my device.BeginScene . I am using the general try/catch block at the DrawIndexedPrimitives line but am only getting a "Error in application".
Thanks for the help so far.

Still not working.
I am getting a message in the debug output window:
A first chance exception of type 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.InvalidCallException' occurred in Microsoft.DirectX.dll
This doesn't mean much to me though.
I also tried removing the index buffers and just use plain vertex buffers and got the same error. Just to reiterate, this all worked fine under Framework 1.1.
I am doing this in my init graphics function. Any of this look wrong?
//vertex buffer
vb = new VertexBuffer(device, 7, Usage.Dynamic | Usage.WriteOnly, PositionTextured.Format, Pool.Default, new EventHandler (this.OnVertexBufferCreate));
OnVertexBufferCreate(vb, null);
//index buffer
ibHex = new IndexBuffer(device, hexindices.Length, Usage.WriteOnly, Pool.Default, false, new EventHandler(OnIndexBufferCreate));
OnIndexBufferCreate(ibHex, null);

Try using the 4 argument overload of SetStreamSource. The 3 overload version only works with the VertexBuffer generic class.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. That didn't fix the problem. I am going to start from scratch and try building a basic triangle. Maybe I can narrow down the problem that way.
Sounds like we are getting similar problems. Except in Managed C++. Is it possible the Managed DirectX code is buggy?
Have you tested this in windowed and fullscreen mode ? I seem to only get that error when I am using indices in conjunction with fullscreen.
Test 1 : Windowed Mode, With Indices, With Buffer - All fine
Test 2 : Windowed Mode, With Indices, Without Buffer - To Test
Test 3 : Fullscreen Mode, With Indices, With Buffer - Crash or error message or PC lock
Test 4 : Fullscreen Mode, With Indices, Without Buffer - To Test
Test 5 : Fullscreen Mode, Without Indices, With Buffer - Fine
Test 6 : Fullscreen Mode, Without Indices, Without Buffer - To Test
Will test the others to be sure and then will report back.

Index Buffer Creation Code - m_indices is an Int32 array created when the DXPrimitive class is constructed. I pass the number of indices to the constructor. m_ib is the classes IndexBuffer. I am currently coding with just 3 individual triangles so don't need to use indices but obviously making sure that something more complex will work fine when using the routine.
This code isn't ideal but really only used for testing purposes so the Index setup code here shouldn't be a problem. The position, normal and color settings are set into the CustomVertex array I initialise along with the index array. In my code thats currently 3 vertices and 3 indices.
This code is where the problem lies. But in fullscreen only while using indices. m_vformat is initialised alongside the arrays in the constructor code and is what decides which vertex array is used. The values in the Indexed routine are valid from what I see with startVertex = 0, countVertex = 3, primitiveType = TriangleList. As you can see the primitiveCount is arrived at from the countVertex.
