Hi there,
I literally -just- went through this problem. If you go to this post, you''ll see a short discussion of it:

Basically, you have to make sure your texture is square and has a length & width a power of 2. Then, you can specify what part of the texture you want to extract, the location you want to put it, and the size of the sprite, all from the Sprite interface''s Draw method...
Thanks,
Todd

G''day!
The texture needs to have width & height that are powers of 2. The quads don''t have to be though. If your textures aren''t they will be re-sized and that can be ugly.

Ken''s right - it can be ugly. My background was done similarly, and was resized twice (once when loading the texture to fit it into a power of 2, and once when displaying by resizing it back down). It actually made the background really fuzzy. So I resized my background texture to fit into a power of 2 and then just displayed the portion I needed, and now it looks great.
And making the texture size a power of 2 also works just as well while using the sprite interface for all my game pieces.
