Error instantiating Texture2D in MonoGame for Windows 8 Metro Apps
- by JimmyBoh
I have an game which builds for WindowsGL and Windows8. The WindowsGL works fine, but the Windows8 build throws an error when trying to instantiate a new Texture2D.
The Code:
var texture = new Texture2D(CurrentGame.SpriteBatch.GraphicsDevice, width, 1); // Error thrown here...
texture.setData(FunctionThatReturnsColors());
You can find the rest of the code on Github.
The Error:
SharpDX.SharpDXException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2147024809
Message=HRESULT: [0x80070057], Module: [Unknown], ApiCode: [Unknown/Unknown], Message: The parameter is incorrect.

InnerException:
Is this an error that needs to be solved in MonoGame, or is there something that I need to do differently in my engine and game?
