(XNA) Rendering My Heightmap Using BasicEffect

Started by

Hi, I created a heightmap which gets loaded from a bitmap, and then sets up its vertices and indices, and when I debug it the values seem to be loaded and correct, but I can't get BasicEffect to render it, I don't quite understand how XNA renders stuff! I got some house cleaning to do on my code yet and have to add some things but heres what I got so far, any comments welcome. Help me please, thanks. Also, would it be more efficient to load it through the content pipeline instead of reading the information from the header, I dont see much differnce either then this you don't need GSE to load the file, and it's more work. :)

I got it solved in the channel, turns out it was just my background color, VertexDeclaration, and my heightmap. Thanks!
