Hi im using directX in c++ via windows forms and im having a problem when trying to load a .x meshfile private: void LoadMesh(string filename, Mesh^ mesh, array<Material,1>^ meshmaterials, array<Texture^,1>^ meshtextures, float^ meshradius) { array<ExtendedMaterial,1>^ materialarray=nullptr; mesh=Mesh::FromFile(filename, MeshFlags::Managed,device,materialarray); } I get the error-> Error 10 error C2665: 'Microsoft::DirectX::Direct3D::Mesh::FromFile' : none of the 8 overloads could convert all the argument types Thanks for any help

It's "managed" C++...*shudder*

I honestly can't think of a way to help you simply because i have never seen that c++ syntax.. ever

That's because it's not C++. It's C++/CLI (VS 2003's Managed Extensions for C++ had more cruft). Your assertion, however, that reading the documentation should help is accurate.

Since Waaayoff has provided you an answer to your question, I feel compelled to ask why you're using C++/CLI and MDX? It's just about the worst possible combination of technologies you could think. C++/CLI is geared primarily for writing interoperability code between native and managed domains, and MDX is dead.

If you want to use C++, you can just use C++ and native DirectX. If you want to use managed code, you could be using C# and SlimDX (or XNA).
