Parameters
file System.String
String that specifies the file name containing the shader code to compile.functionName System.String
String that contains the name of the shader entry-point function where execution begins.preprocessorDefines Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Macro[]
Reference to a Macro object that describes the preprocessor definitions to use.includeFile Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Include
Reference to an Include object that provides access to include-file directives.profile System.String
String containing the shader profile that determines the shader instruction set to use.flags Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ShaderFlags
errorMessages System.String
String containing a listing of errors and warnings that were encountered during compilation. These are the same messages the debugger displays in debug mode.table Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ConstantTable
Reference to a ConstantTable object that can be used to access shader constants.
Return Value
Microsoft.DirectX.GraphicsStream
A GraphicsStream object that contains the compiled shader code, as well as any embedded debug and symbol table information.
