Hi. I'm creating texture as render target. But when i get its surface there is MultisamplingType.None:


public Texture CreateRenderTargetF(int width, int height)
{
   return new Texture(Device, width, height, 1, Usage.RenderTarget, RtfFormat, Pool.Default);
}

As you see texture creates by using its constructor. But there is no constructor overloading with multisampling type argument. Question: Is it possible to create multisampled texture? Of course i can use StretchRectangle() or GetFrontBufferData(), but just want to know answer for a question. thanks in advice

You have to use Surface.CreateRenderTarget and specify the multisample mode, and also create a render target Texture with the same size and format. Then you first render everything to the Surface, and afterwards you use StretchRect to resolve the surface to the texture.
