TextureLoader.FromCubeStream(Device,Stream,Int32) Method (Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D)
Creates a cube texture from a file in memory.
Definition
Visual Basic Public Shared Function FromCubeStream( _
ByVal device As Device, _
ByVal stream As Stream, _
ByVal readBytes As Integer _
) As CubeTextureC# public static CubeTexture FromCubeStream(
Device device,

);C++ public:

);JScript public static function FromCubeStream(
device : Device,

readBytes : int
) : CubeTexture;
Parameters
device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
A Device object that represents the device to associate with the cube texture.stream System.IO.Stream
A StreamreadBytes System.Int32
Size of the file in memory, in bytes.
Return Value
Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.CubeTexture
A CubeTexture object that represents the created cube texture object.
Remarks
This method supports the following file formats: .bmp, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga.
Cube textures differ from other surfaces in that they are collections of surfaces. To call Device.SetRenderTarget with a cube texture, select an individual face using CubeTexture.GetCubeMapSurface and pass the resulting surface to Device.SetRenderTarget.
The TextureLoader.FromCubeFile method uses the Microsoft DirectDraw surface (DDS) file format. The DXTex tool enables generation of a cube map from other file formats, and saves it as a .dds file.
Exceptions
The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.
The data is invalid.
This device does not support the queried technique.
Microsoft Direct3D does not have enough display memory to perform the operation.
Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.
