CreateSurfaceFromFile in .NET and DX9

i'm porting one of my old directdraw projects made in VB6 to .NET
there's this one thing i can't find:


'Sprite = surface
'ddsdNewSprite = surface description, all set and ready

Sprite = DD.CreateSurfaceFromFile(App.Path & "\temp.bmp", ddsdNewSprite)


i searched a lot, but simply can't find the CreateSurfaceFromFile command, or anything like it.

I am using the References for DirectDraw found in the directx9 SDK

So my question is if anyone knows how to do this in .NET with DX9

Reinout,

That's because it's in the constructor.

ObjectSf = New Surface(Picpath & "cubes.bmp", surfDesc, Dev)
where surfDesc is the Surface Description, and Dev is the device.
ObjectSf is the surface. :)

cool :p
thanks a lot!
