JeremyAnsel.HLSL.Targets 2.0.26

JeremyAnsel.HLSL.Targets

JeremyAnsel.HLSL.Targets adds MSBuild support for HLSL compilation.

Usage

To build a hlsl shader file set the "Build Action" property to "HLSL Shader" in the "Advanced" category of the properties window. Then in the "HLSL" category set the "Shader Profile" property to a shader profile.

Shader profiles

Supported shader profiles are:

• Compute Shader 5.0
• Domain Shader 5.0
• Geometry Shader 5.0
• Hull Shader 5.0
• Pixel Shader 5.0
• Vertex Shader 5.0
• Compute Shader 4.1
• Geometry Shader 4.1
• Pixel Shader 4.1
• Vertex Shader 4.1
• Compute Shader 4.0
• Geometry Shader 4.0
• Pixel Shader 4.0
• Vertex Shader 4.0
• Pixel Shader 4.0 level 9.1
• Pixel Shader 4.0 level 9.3
• Vertex Shader 4.0 level 9.1
• Vertex Shader 4.0 level 9.3
• Pixel Shader 3.0
• Vertex Shader 3.0
• Pixel Shader 2.0
• Vertex Shader 2.0

Default shader code

If a shader profile is selected for an empty file then the file will be filled with a default shader code.

Output filename

On compiling the project the default output filename for a shader file is the filename of the shader file with a ".cso" extension.

Custom properties

Additional properties are:

• "Object File Output Name" to set the object file output name
• "Inserts Debug Information" to insert debug information into the output code
• "Preprocessor Definitions" to set the preprocessor definitions
• "Entry Point Name" to set the entry point name
• "Treat Warning As Error" to treat warning as error
• "Output Disassembly Shader" to output disassembly shader
• "Output Disassembly Shader in HTML" to output disassembly shader in HTML
