I've translated the code of DirectX11 SDK tutorial #6 to C# and SlimDX. Unlike the previous tutorials though, I am having a very bizarre problem with this one. Instead of rendering a cube like it should, it just renders large apparently stretched to infinity polygons. Even when I move the Eye and LookAt positions I can't see everything. For example, if I change Y to 100, the polygons seem to be on the same horizontal plane as the Eye and still stretch far off. This output makes no sense whatsoever and after 2 days of screwing with this darn program I still haven't been able to get it to work. Hopefully someone on here might be able to help me solve it.

Here is the code of Program.cs.

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using SlimDX;
using SlimDX.D3DCompiler;
using SlimDX.Direct3D11;
using Buffer = SlimDX.Direct3D11.Buffer; // I added this line to fix ambiguity between SlimDX.Direct3D11.Buffer and System.Buffer. This tells it to use the SlimDX Buffer class rather than the one in the System namespace when I reference the type Buffer.
using SlimDX.DXGI;
using SlimDX.Windows;
using Device = SlimDX.Direct3D11.Device;
using Resource = SlimDX.Direct3D11.Resource;

As you can see, I added the Pixel Shader from tutorial 5 (renamed to PSColor) to the bottom of the shaders.fx file and added a color attribute to the shader input data. I then changed the render code to use this shader instead of the PSSolid pixel shader. And lastly I added the color data from tutorial 5 into the vertex list of this program. I can see where one face ends and the next begins now, but what I'm seeing I can't make any sense out of. The code to render the lights is commented out to see what difference that made. I need to get it to draw a cube for now like it is supposed to. Then I'll go back and uncomment that code to enable the lights again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm totally stumped here. Thanks

Hi and thank you very much. I did a little research into how to setup my structure properly. It no longer is drawing nonsense on the screen, but the problem is that now it draws absolutely nothing on the screen after it clears it each frame. I'm not sure what's going on but obviously something somewhere is still screwed up unfortunately.

Here is what my code looks like now with the structure updated, and I also now copy the structure into the constant buffer using Marshal.StructureToPtr().

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using SlimDX;
using SlimDX.D3DCompiler;
using SlimDX.Direct3D11;
using Buffer = SlimDX.Direct3D11.Buffer; // I added this line to fix ambiguity between SlimDX.Direct3D11.Buffer and System.Buffer. This tells it to use the SlimDX Buffer class rather than the one in the System namespace when I reference the type Buffer.
using SlimDX.DXGI;
using SlimDX.Windows;
using Device = SlimDX.Direct3D11.Device;
using Resource = SlimDX.Direct3D11.Resource;

Thanks again for you're help and hopefully someone can help me solve this second issue. I'm just not sure whether the problem is still with the packing of the data in the constant buffer, or if the problem lies elsewhere. I don't know how to check to make sure that the data is getting into the constant buffer correctly. If its not, the arrays are where the problem lies, like you said, because the struct works fine in previous tutorials with the Matrices stored the same way, but there are no arrays in the struct in those tutorials.



UPDATE:
I got the demo to work by making a small function that writes all the data from the structure one item at a time into the DataStream using the DataStream.Write() method. The program is now working properly. It would seem that when I used Marshal.StructToPtr() it was doing something wrong. The two spots in the render code that update the Constant Buffer seemed to be fighting each other in some way. If I had one update using [color=#008000]Marshal.StructToPtr() and the other using [color=#008000]constants.Write(cbStruct), then half of the draw code would work. Which half works was determined by which way I set up the two updates. So if I flipped it so the first update used [color=#008000]constants.Write(cbStruct) and the second update of the constant buffer used [color=#008000]Marshal.StructToPtr(), then the other half of the render code worked but the half that worked before stopped working. If both updates use constants.Write(cbStruct) or if both updates use Marshal.StructToPtr(), then I get an empty screen with nothing but the background color. Very strange indeed.

When I change the Render code so that both of the updates to the Constant Buffer use my little util function that writes the data to the DataStream one item at a time using the DataStream.Write() method, the program works exactly as it should. Both halves of the render code function correctly with this setup and I see 3 cubes on the screen with lighting on the center cube as expected.

So in short, the problem obviously has to do with the way the struct was getting written to the Constant Buffer when I used Marshal.StructToPtr(). So apparently there is still something not quite right about how my struct is set up. Here's what the struct looks like now. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.
