   [SlimDX] E_NOTIMPL: The function called is not supported at this time
  i am trying to implement the advancedmesh from the Managed Directx sample and when the program is trying to load the effect file i have received the Direct3d9 Exception "E_NOTIMPL: The function called is not supported at this time (-2147467263)"   
  How are you loading the effect file? What SlimDX call are you making?   ;  HelloIam using effect = Effect.FromFile(_device, path, ShaderFlags.None);;  Re-save the effect file with ASCII encoding. As MikePopoloski says,Quote:Original post by MikePopoloski:I'm going to guess that you created the effect from within Visual Studio, in which case it has a Unicode BOM that throws off the effect compiler and causes it to spit out strange and confusing errors.;Quote:Original post by jpetrieRe-save the effect file with ASCII encoding.

What if you run the shader through FXC?   ;  FXC is a tool that comes with DirectX???   ;  Yes, it comes with DirectX SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232919(VS.85).aspx.   ;  I beleive it is the version of the Direct SDK i am using because it is a bit old so i am downloading the latest version and i will try again
