Hello wise ones....

I am having trouble texturing a bitmap image from a file onto a rectangular surface. I am using Tao Framework, VB.NET and Visual Studio 2008.

Here's my code :

Step 1: Generate texture data

Dim Image As Bitmap = New Bitmap("c:\test.jpg")
Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY)

Dim bitmapdata As System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData
Dim rect As Rectangle = New Rectangle(0, 0, Image.Width, Image.Height)

bitmapdata = Image.LockBits(rect,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)

Gl.glGenTextures(1, textureID)
Gl.glBindTexture(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID(0))
Gl.glTexImage2D(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D, Gl.GL_RGB8, 3, Image.Width, Image.Height, 0, Gl.GL_RGB, Gl.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, bitmapdata.Scan0)

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR)
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR)

Image.UnlockBits(bitmapdata)
Image.Dispose()

Step 2: In the Render routine (the vertices form a simple cube)

Gl.glEnable(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D)
Gl.glBindTexture(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID(0))
Gl.glBegin(Gl.GL_TRIANGLES)

For j = 0 To v1.Length / 3 - 1

Gl.glTexCoord2f((v1(3 * j) - BB.MinPoint.X) / Me.Width, (v1(3 * j + 2) - BB.MinPoint.Z) / Me.Depth)
Gl.glVertex3f(v1(3 * j), v1(3 * j + 1), -v1(3 * j + 2))

Next
Gl.glEnd()
Gl.glDisable(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D)

When I execute the code, I simply get a light gray surface and not the image in the jpg file.

Am I missing anything obvious?

Thanks for any help,

Siva
