Parameters

device
A Device that represents the device to associate with the texture.

stream
A Stream from which to create the texture.

readBytes
Size, in bytes, of the file in memory.

width
Width in pixels. If this value is 0, the dimensions are taken from the file.

height
Height in pixels. If this value is 0, the dimensions are taken from the file.

mipLevels
Number of mip levels requested. If this value is 0, a complete mipmap chain is created.

usage
Specify zero or Usage values. Specify RenderTarget to indicate that the surface will be used as a render target. The resource can then be passed to the renderTarget parameter for the SetRenderTarget method of a Device. The application should determine whether the device supports this operation by using the CheckDeviceFormat method of a Manager.

Specify Dynamic to indicate that the surface should be handled dynamically.

format
Format value that describes the requested pixel format for the cube texture.

pool
Pool value that describes the memory class into which the cube texture should be placed.

filter
One or more Filter flags that control how the image is filtered.

mipFilter
One or more Filter flags that control how the mipmaps are filtered.

colorKey
A value to replace with transparent black, or 0 to disable the color key. This is always a 32-bit ARGB color that is independent of the source image format. Alpha is significant, and usually should be set to FF for opaque color keys. For example, for opaque black, the value is equal to 0xFF000000.

Return Value

A Texture that represents the created texture object.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.
