Display BMP, JPEG or PNG image using DirectX?

How do you render a BMP, JPEG or PNG image file in 3D with DirectX on Windows? (For example, let's say I want to take four images so that they look like a cabin or something like that.)

I saw this easily using the OpenGL Java library (JME, I think?), But it looks like DirectX needs textures and doesn't accept regular images. :(

It is right? If so, how can I programmatically convert it to a texture?

DirectX 9: D3DXCreateTextureFromFile

DirectX 10: D3DX10CreateTextureFromFile and D3DX10CreateShaderResourceViewFromFile

DirectX 11: D3DX11CreateTextureFromFile and D3DX11CreateShaderResourceViewFromFile

Read the details for each, but most supported file formats are supported. (including BMP, JPG and PNG)

Download the "Source Code Part II" from the Samples and Resources section. Look at the source code examples in chapter 7. Perhaps you could buy a book.
