texture loading
Author
hi. Im trying to load textures and I get this this run time error, when I ran the debugger I got the following errors:
An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.InvalidDataException' occurred in Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll
it breaks at this line
texture = TextureLoader.FromFile(device, "test.bmp");
can someone explain what those errors mean?
Fron what I understand from the C++ equivalent, it means that the data is invalid, meaning that test.bmp is not a valid windows bitmap. Does it open fine in Windows picture viewer thing and in paint?
It's also possible that the device can't create a texture of the correct texture format, but never having used TextureLoader.FromFile, I don't know if that's possible / likely.

The bitap may well be valid, but unless D3DX can find it, that's moot.
If the bitmap is in the project directory, try ".//test.bmp", otherwise qualify the path somehow (absolutely, if necessary, during testing).
I'm not familiar with C# or MDX so I would check to make sure the D3DDevice you're passing is valid. Failing that, your texture loading function may need some attention (particularly if it is using D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx).
