Hi. When i call D3DXCreateEffectFromFile() it fails to compile the following HLSL code.. however when i set PixelShader=NULL; and comment out the OurFirstPixelShader() function it compiles... what could be the problem?? thanks in advance! struct VertexToPixel { float4 Position : POSITION; float2 TexCoords : TEXCOORD0; }; struct PixelToFrame { float4 Color : COLOR; }; float4x4 xViewProjection; Texture xColoredTexture; sampler ColoredTextureSampler = sampler_state { texture = ; magfilter = LINEAR; minfilter = LINEAR; mipfilter=LINEAR; AddressU = mirror; AddressV = mirror;}; VertexToPixel SimplestVertexShader( float4 inPos : POSITION, float2 inTexCoords : TEXCOORD0) { VertexToPixel Output = (VertexToPixel)0; Output.Position = mul(inPos, xViewProjection); Output.TexCoords = inTexCoords; return Output; } PixelToFrame OurFirstPixelShader(VertexToPixel PSIn) { PixelToFrame Output = (PixelToFrame)0; Output.Color = tex2D(ColoredTextureSampler, PSIn.TexCoords); return Output; } technique Simplest { pass Pass0 { VertexShader = compile vs_1_1 SimplestVertexShader(); PixelShader = compile ps_1_1 OurFirstPixelShader(); } }
