Visual Studio Express HLSL debugger ?

Post by papaonn »

Hi,

I am using Visual Studio Express 2012, the problem I had with HLSL shader is that, the compiler doesn't tell me whether my shader language has error or not, and just run without showing any effect.

How am I going to know if my shader language is having problem ?

Please help, Thanks =)

You cannot compile a shader using a C++ compiler. You must present the shader to the HLSL driver, although there may be standalone syntax checkers. Just google for beginners tutorials in HLSL, where they'll show you how to perform the compilation and check for errors.
