    ByVal sourceData As Stream, _
    ByVal preprocessorDefines() As Macro, _
    ByVal includeFile As Include, _
    ByVal flags As ShaderFlags, _
    ByRef compilationErrors As String _
) As GraphicsStream
C# public static GraphicsStream FromStream(
    Stream sourceData,
    Macro[] preprocessorDefines,
    Include includeFile,
    ShaderFlags flags,
    out string compilationErrors
);
Managed C++ public: static GraphicsStream* FromStream(
    Stream *sourceData,
    Macro preprocessorDefines __gc[],
    Include *includeFile,
    ShaderFlags flags,
    String **compilationErrors
);
JScript .NET public static function FromStream(
    sourceData : Stream,
    preprocessorDefines : Macro[],
    includeFile : Include,
    flags : ShaderFlags,
    compilationErrors : String
) : GraphicsStream;

Parameters

sourceData System.IO.Stream. A Stream Leave Site object that contains the shader code to assemble.
preprocessorDefines Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Macro[]. Reference to a Macro object that describes the preprocessor definitions to use.
includeFile Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Include. Reference to an Include object that provides access to include-file directives.
flags Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ShaderFlags. Value of the ShaderFlags enumeration that represents the shader compiler options to use.
compilationErrors System.String. String containing a listing of errors and warnings that were encountered during compilation. These are the same messages the debugger displays in debug mode.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.GraphicsStream . A GraphicsStream object that contains the assembled shader code, as well as any embedded debug and symbol table information.
