Remarks

Before a ContentManager can load an asset, you need to add the asset to your game project using the steps described in How to: Add Game Assets to a Content Project.

The following are the Content Pipeline run-time classes supported by Load and the file formats they are associated with.

Effect Class .fx
Model Class .fbx, .x
SpriteFont Class

.bmp, .spritefont, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga

The default content processor for .bmp files is the texture processor. To process a .bmp file for use as a Sprite Font, click Sprite Font Texture - XNA Framework in the Properties pane for the .bmp file after it is added to the project.
Texture Class, Texture2D Class .bmp, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga
TextureCube Class .dds

Note that these are the formats of the original assets; after processing, all assets will be .xnb files.

To load a Model from the directory .\content\models\ with the asset name of "box":

Model model = contentManager.Load<Model>( ".\\content\\models\\box" );
