  • 0

Is there any way to get syntax highlighting (and maybe something like “Format Document”) for fx files in visual studio 2010 ? It is quite hard to debug more complex HLSL shader code without it. I know I could use fx composer but I would rather not switch between different dev-environments 🙂 Furthermore, I frequently use #region pragmas in VS2010. Is there something similar for editing HLSL shader code in VS2010?

    You should have a look to the NShader project on CodePlex. It’s an extension for Visual Studio 2010 that does just that: adding syntax highlighting for various shading languages.

    Regarding the #region pragmas, I think that a macro, as explained in this answer on SO, will do the trick. Here is another example also.
