I'm currently learning SlimDX, I want to load a Shader from tutorial which is named "triangle.fx" and it is in a folder called "FX",everything is in my solution. When I'm typing this line of code:

 using (var bytecode = ShaderBytecode.CompileFromFile(@"FX/triangle.fx", "PShader", "ps_4_0", ShaderFlags.None, EffectFlags.None))

I'm getting FileNotFoundException, and I don't know why because everything exists in my solution.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Are your files being copied to the build target? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @RobStone, well I've just added a folder called "FX", then I have created a file called triangle.txt (because VS doesnt have any function for creating them), and I have changed it's extension to *.fx \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ The FX folder is in the same directory as the built .exe? \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$

Make sure the FX folder is a subdirectory of the folder containing the .exe. In this case /bin/debug/FX

  • \$\begingroup\$ That project is likely set to copy the folder when it builds \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Wow,It worked, thank you kindly :). By the way, you said that the project from slimdx.org is "set to copy the folder when it builds", how can I do the same with mine ? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ You should be able to right click the folder in the solution explorer to change build actions. The option you want might be content, though I can't recall it from my mobile. \$\endgroup\$
