I'm trying to access some variables in my shader, but I think I'm doing this wrong. Say I have a constant buffer that looks like this:

cbuffer perFrame
{
    float foo;
    float bar;
};

I got an ID3D10EffectConstantBuffer reference to it, and I can get a specific index by calling GetMemberByIndex, but how can I figure out how many members perFrame has so that I can get each member without going out of bounds?

Now, here is the problem: Subresource 0 contains 1024 bytes, pitch 64, as expected. Subresource… >>> More

In DirectX9 the main supported back buffer formats were D3DFMT_X8R8B8G8 and D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8 (Both being BGRA in layout). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb174314(v=vs.85).aspx With… >>> More

I'm trying to use direct2d to render images off-screen using WindowsAPICodePack. This is easily achieved using WicBitmapRenderTarget but sadly it's not hardware accelerated. So I'm trying this route: Create direct3d device Create texture2d Use texture surface to create render target using CreateDxgiSurfaceRenderTarget Draw… >>> More
