I am trying to load and display a targa image in .net.
Since System.Drawing.Image does not support targas I have been trying
to use Direct3D to load the targa to a texture and then copy that
texture to a System.Drawing.Bitmap object.

But this hasn't worked for me yet.

Is there any other way to load a .tga file?

Thanks,
Corey

You could try the brute-force method of reading the file yourself.

This link points at the format spec

Try LEADTOOLS (www.leadtools.com), they have a .NET toolkit that handles
Targa (TGA) images, and many other formats.
