Hi everyone! I'd like to debug a HLSL vertex shader. I'm using DX 9.0c and VS2005. At the moment I am working on an old ATI (but I am waiting for passing on a NVIDIA GTX 295 ;)). I know that I can't debug my vertex shader with VS2005 but I also know that I can use the DX SDK tool PIX for Windows. I tried to debug the shader using PIX: I succeed in capturing a single frame of my application but PIX crashes when I try to launch a vertex debugging either from the pixel history tab or from the mesh data view. Maybe it would be wrong the application building for use with PIX ... When I create the effect (with D3DXCreateEffectFromFile) I set the flag to D3DXSHADER_DEBUG | D3DXSHADER_SKIPOPTIMIZATION. I set the options /Zi and /Od in the configuration properties->C/C++ too ... I'll try also to use RenderMonkey (v1.81 and 1.80), but it crashes when I select or open rfx files! ... any idea or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I tried either with June 2008 or November 2008 SDK ...
