When I try to create an vertex buffer, it fails and the HRESULT value is INVALID_ARGUMENT. The source code is the following:

D3D11_BUFFER_DESC bufferDesc;
D3D11_SUBRESOURCE_DATA bufferData;

bufferData.pSysMem = NULL;
bufferData.SysMemPitch = NULL;
bufferData.SysMemSlicePitch = NULL;

bufferDesc.ByteWidth = 1024 * sizeof(SpriteVertex);
bufferDesc.Usage = D3D11_USAGE_DEFAULT;
bufferDesc.BindFlags = D3D11_BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER;
bufferDesc.CPUAccessFlags = NULL;
bufferDesc.MiscFlags = NULL;
bufferDesc.StructureByteStride = sizeof(SpriteVertex);

pDevice->CreateBuffer(&bufferDesc, &bufferData, &m_pVertexBuffer);

Does someone has an idea why this error appears?

Try passing `NULL` for for the `pInitialData` argument in `CreateBuffer`. – Jonathan Potter Jul 06 '16 at 07:26
That worked for me, thanks. – Rafiwui Jul 06 '16 at 08:28
If you enable the Debug device, then you will see explanations of things like ``INVALID_ARGUMENT`` in the output window. Also, you are using ``NULL`` in a number of places that aren't pointers. Use 0 for values, ``nullptr`` for pointers, and avoid legacy ``NULL``. – Chuck Walbourn Jul 06 '16 at 15:55
NULL is defined as 0 at least in my IDE (VS2015) – Rafiwui Jul 06 '16 at 21:48
