C#	public static PatchMesh FromX( XFileData xofObjMesh, MeshFlags options, Device device, out ExtendedMaterial materials );
C++	public: static PatchMesh^ FromX( XFileData^ xofObjMesh, MeshFlags options, Device^ device, [Out] ExtendedMaterial% materials );

Parameters

xofObjMesh Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.XFileData
An XFileData object that represents the file data object to load.

options Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.MeshFlags
One or more MeshFlags that specify creation options for the mesh (excepting the Simplify* or Optimize* flags).

device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
The Device object to associate with the mesh.

materials Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ExtendedMaterial[]
Array of ExtendedMaterial structures that contain material information saved in the mesh.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.PatchMesh
Returns a PatchMesh object that represents the loaded patch mesh.

Remarks

For mesh files that do not contain effect instance information, default effect instances are generated from the material information in the DirectX (.x) file. The default values of a default effect instance correspond to the members of the Material structure.

The default texture name also is filled in, but is handled differently. The name is Texture0@Name, which corresponds to an effect variable by the name of "Texture0" with an annotation called "Name." This contains the string file name for the texture.

Exceptions

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

InvalidDataException The data is invalid.

OutOfMemoryException Microsoft Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.
