C++	public: static EffectCompiler^ FromString( String^ sourceData, Include^ includeFile, ShaderFlags flags, [Out] String^% compilationErrors );
JScript	public static function FromString( sourceData : String, includeFile : Include, flags : ShaderFlags, compilationErrors : String ) : EffectCompiler;

Parameters

sourceData System.String
A String that describes the EffectCompiler 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.

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

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

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.EffectCompiler
An EffectCompiler that represents the effect compiler.
