Creates a texture from a file in memory.

Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function FromStream ( _
    device As Device, _
    stream As Stream _
) As Texture
'Usage
Dim device As Device
Dim stream As Stream
Dim returnValue As Texture

returnValue = TextureLoader.FromStream(device, _
    stream)

public static Texture FromStream(
    Device device,
    Stream stream
)

public:
static Texture^ FromStream(
    Device^ device, 
    Stream^ stream
)

static member FromStream : 
        device:Device * 
        stream:Stream -> Texture

Parameters

device
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
The device to associate with the texture.

stream
Type: System.IO.Stream
The stream from which to create the texture.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Texture
The created texture object.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.
OutOfMemoryException	Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.

Remarks

This method supports the following file formats: .bmp, .dds, .jpg, .png, and .gif.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the FromStream(Device, Stream) method overload.

' This code example is taken from the
' Direct3D Mobile Texture Sample included with the
' .NET Compact Framework samples.

' Called whenever the rendering device is reset.
Friend Sub OnResetDevice(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim dev As Device = CType(sender, Device)
    ' Turn off culling, so we 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

void OnResetDevice(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Device dev = (Device)sender;

    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 our texture

    texture = TextureLoader.FromStream(dev,
        Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(
        "Texture.Content.Banana.bmp"));
}
