Parameters

device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
The Device that will create the effect.

sourceData System.String
A String that describes the Effect to create.

includeFile Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Include
Optional Include object to use for handling #include directives. If this value is null, #include directives are either honored when compiling from a file, or cause an error when compiled from a resource or memory.

skipConstants System.String
A string of effect parameters that will be ignored by the effect system. The string must be NULL terminated and needs to contain the name of each application-managed constant separated by a semicolon.

flags Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ShaderFlags
One or more compile options identified by the ShaderFlags enumeration.

pool Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.EffectPool
An EffectPool object to use for shared parameters. If this value is null, no parameters are shared.

compilationErrors System.String
String that contains a listing of compilation errors.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Effect
An Effect that contains the compiled effect.

Remarks

Exceptions

InvalidCallException The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.

InvalidDataException The data is invalid.
