Parameters
device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
The Device that will create the effect.sourceData System.String
A StringpreprocessorDefines Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Macro[]
Optional null-terminated array of preprocessor macro definitions. For more information, see Macro.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.
