VSC#, OpenTK: help with loading 1D texture file

hi

i am thinking of reading a raw or png 1D texture file into Opentk so that i can use TexCoord1() to get color for my fractal program.

i know how to use it to do it in C++. i am new to C#, and i am new to all the function call's name.

even in OpenTK, i know how to load a texture2D image, but not 1D. :(

apparently, all the examples i got from googling deal with texture2D, very frustrating.

any help will be appreciated.
