How to use FOURCC formats in SlimDX?

Question

Looking through the defined surface formats of SlimDX, some seem to be missing. I'm interested in using the NV12 format.

Since the formats are defined as an enum, I can't pass in a FOURCC format as I would be able to using unmanaged code.

Is there any way to work around this?

SlimDX enums are defined as ints, so you can cast any int to it.

int nvformat = 12345; //Replace number by the fourcc
SlimDX.Direct3D9.Format fmt = (SlimDX.Direct3D9.Format)nvformat;

Ah ... I thought that would throw an exception, but it doesn't. Thanks! – Steven Jeuris Sep 27 '12 at 17:27
