What type of errors are you receiving exactly (Compile, Runtime, what)? What does your debugger say? Taking a look at your code, you seem to be missing a lot of error checking which is essential. Make sure check for errors and assert as soon as you receive anything except (S_OK).

Like most people, you must take the time to read the manual and understand how the SDK works. Learning DirectX programming (especially Dx10) is not a jump in and win type of thing. It takes time, patience and a lot of reading. The pay off can be great though.

Where do you think I got that code from?
Anyways:
D3D10: ERROR: ID3D10Device::CreateTexture3D: Unrecognized MiscFlags (0xcccccccc) are being used. These bits are unrecognized (0xccccccc8). [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #114: CREATETEXTURE3D_UNRECOGNIZEDMISCFLAGS ]
First-chance exception at 0x765d3843 in Tutorial08.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: _com_error at memory location 0x0017f8a8..
D3D10: ERROR: ID3D10Device::CreateTexture3D: Returning E_INVALIDARG, meaning invalid parameters were passed. [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #121: CREATETEXTURE3D_INVALIDARG_RETURN ]
First-chance exception at 0x004abfed in Tutorial08.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.
Unhandled exception at 0x004abfed in Tutorial08.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

But it was doing a lot more errors before I added the mapped texture part. Now it crashes before it even gets there.

Of course it crashes, pTexture is NULL (because CreateTexture3D fails) and you don't have any error checking to avoid trying to access members inside pTexture, causing it to crash.

I've never used DirectX10 but quick inspection of the error message answers your question.

CreateTexture3D is failing because of the MiscFlags. MiscFlags is a member of the D3D10_TEXTURE3D_DESC structure, which you don't initialize. When you try to create the texture you're passing it some garbage parameters.

Either initialize all of the members of your structure or call ZeroMemory before initializing the ones you care about.

D3D10_TEXTURE2D_DESC desc;ZeroMemory( &desc, sizeof( desc ) );desc.Width = 256;desc.Height = 256;desc.ArraySize = 1;desc.MipLevels = 1;desc.SampleDesc.Count=1;desc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;desc.Usage = D3D10_USAGE_DYNAMIC;desc.BindFlags = D3D10_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE;desc.CPUAccessFlags = D3D10_CPU_ACCESS_WRITE;ID3D10Texture2D* pTexture = NULL;pd3dDevice->CreateTexture2D( &desc, NULL, &pTexture );D3D10_MAPPED_TEXTURE2D mappedTex;pTexture->Map( D3D10CalcSubresource(0, 0, 1), D3D10_MAP_WRITE_DISCARD, 0, &mappedTex );UCHAR* pTexels = (UCHAR*)mappedTex.pData;for( UINT row = 0; row < desc.Height; row++ ){    UINT rowStart = row * mappedTex.RowPitch;    for( UINT col = 0; col < desc.Width; col++ )    {        UINT colStart = col * 4;        pTexels[rowStart + colStart + 0] = 255; // Red        pTexels[rowStart + colStart + 1] = 128; // Green        pTexels[rowStart + colStart + 2] = 64;  // Blue        pTexels[rowStart + colStart + 3] = 32;  // Alpha    }}pTexture->Unmap( D3D10CalcSubresource(0, 0, 1) );D3D10_SHADER_RESOURCE_VIEW_DESC srvDesc;ZeroMemory( &srvDesc, sizeof( srvDesc ) );srvDesc.Format = desc.Format;srvDesc.ViewDimension = D3D10_SRV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;srvDesc.Texture2D.MostDetailedMip = 0;srvDesc.Texture2D.MipLevels = desc.MipLevels;ID3D10ShaderResourceView *pSRView = NULL;pd3dDevice->CreateShaderResourceView( pTexture, &srvDesc, &pSRView );effect->GetVariableByName( "txDiffuse" )->AsShaderResource()->SetResource( pSRView );

Just fwiw, this ZeroMemory() step should become 2nd nature and automatic when you're dealing with POD types.

Secondly, you need to remember that the debug builds/runtimes of plain old VC++ are trying to help you. It places values like 0xcccccccc into uninitialized variables specifically to alert you to this issue - seeing that in an error message or log file output should be an instant "ah-hah!" moment.

Even forgetting the thing about ZeroMemory(), the above quoted fragment tells you everything you needed to solve this problem [smile]
