Example

The following code example demonstrates loading a texture.

' This code example is taken from the
' Direct3D Mobile Texture Sample of the
' .NET Compact Framework Samples in the
' .NET Framework SDK Samples.

' Called whenever the rendering device is reset.
Sub OnResetDevice(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) 
    Dim dev As Device = CType(sender, Device)
    ' Turn off culling, to see the front and back of the triangle.
    dev.RenderState.CullMode = Cull.None
    ' Turn off D3D lighting.
    dev.RenderState.Lighting = False
    ' Turn on the ZBuffer.
    dev.RenderState.ZBufferEnable = True
    ' Turn on perspective correction for textures
    ' This provides a more accurate visual at the cost
    ' of a small performance overhead.
    dev.RenderState.TexturePerspective = True
    ' Now create the texture.
    texture = TextureLoader.FromStream(dev, _
    [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("Texture.Content.Banana.bmp"))

End Sub
