   rendering to texture
  i rendered a triangle to a texture and then displayed theat texture. it works ok but i get a red triangle, and i have set it to be white, what could be the problem?   
  Check the following link:http://www.pieterg.com/Tutorials/tutorial7.phpIt has a tutorial on Render to Texture, you may be able to compare Pieter's source to your own.   ;  If you are using lights make sure you have the correct material set.Make sure that when you rendered the triangle that the correct vertex format was set. Recheck all your state settings such as textures are set correctly, you are clearing the surface before rendering to it.Example C#//Create some variables for the render to texture methodtexture = new Texture(renderer.Device, 128, 128, 1, Usage.RenderTarget, Format.X8R8G8B8, Pool.Default);surface = texture.GetSurfaceLevel(0);//Render to texture methodprivate void RenderToTexture(){Surface oldRenderTarget = renderer.Device.GetRenderTarget(0);renderer.Device.SetRenderTarget(0, surface);renderer.Device.Clear(ClearFlags.Target | ClearFlags.ZBuffer, Color.Black.ToArgb(), 1.0f, 0);renderer.Device.BeginScene();renderer.Device.Material = material;renderer.Device.Transform.World = matWorld;cube.DrawSubset(0);renderer.Device.EndScene();renderer.Device.SetRenderTarget(0, oldRenderTarget);}//Call the Render method and Render to texture first.//The Sprite will then render our rendered-to-texture texturepublic void Render(){RenderToTexture();renderer.BeginRender(Color.Black);renderer.Device.Material = material;renderer.Device.Transform.World = matWorld;cube.DrawSubset(0);using(Sprite s = new Sprite(renderer.Device)){s.Begin(SpriteFlags.None);s.Draw(texture, new Rectangle(0, 0, 128, 128), new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), Color.White);s.End();}renderer.EndRender();}I hope this helps.Take care.
