I decided to upgrade to XNA 4.0 and have spent this weekend getting rid of all the errors. Unfortunately nothing that used to draw correctly in 3.1 will draw at all in 4.0.

My forward rendering draw method is as follows:



protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
graphicsDevice.Clear(clearColour);

SetSharedParameters(activeCamera);

// [Deferred Rendering]
//deferredRendering.Draw(gameTime);

// [Forward Rendering]

// [Draw 3D]
modelDrawer.Begin(activeCamera);
quadrangleDrawer.Begin(activeCamera);
shapeDrawer.Begin(activeCamera);
wireShapeDrawer.Begin(activeCamera);

octree.Draw(gameTime);


modelDrawer.End();
quadrangleDrawer.End();
shapeDrawer.End();
wireShapeDrawer.End();
}


The octree used to draw all the entities in view of the camera, but now it draws nothing.

Here is an example of a draw method for wire shapes:



private void FlushDrawing()
{
if (IndexCount > 0)
{
//game.GraphicsDevice.DepthStencilState = DepthStencilState.Default;
game.GraphicsDevice.DepthStencilState = DepthStencilState.DepthRead;

Effect effect = game.Effects["PreTransformed"];

// Set parameters for current camera
game.SetSharedParameters(camera);

vertexBuffer.SetData(Vertices, 0, VertexCount, SetDataOptions.Discard);
indexBuffer.SetData(Indices, 0, IndexCount, SetDataOptions.Discard);

game.GraphicsDevice.Indices = indexBuffer;
game.GraphicsDevice.SetVertexBuffer(vertexBuffer);

effect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0].Apply();

game.GraphicsDevice.DrawIndexedPrimitives(PrimitiveType.LineList, 0, 0, VertexCount, 0, IndexCount / 2);
}

IndexCount = 0;
VertexCount = 0;
}


The shared parameters are set to an .fx file that uses the 'shared' keyword:



public void SetSharedParameters(Camera camera)
{
Vector2 halfPixel = new Vector2();
halfPixel.X = 1.0f / graphicsDevice.Viewport.Width;
halfPixel.Y = -1.0f / graphicsDevice.Viewport.Height;

parameter_CameraPosition.SetValue(camera.Position);
parameter_CameraUp.SetValue(camera.Up);
parameter_HalfPixel.SetValue(halfPixel);
parameter_InverseViewProjection.SetValue(Matrix.Invert(camera.ViewProjectionMatrix));
parameter_Projection.SetValue(camera.ProjectionMatrix);
parameter_View.SetValue(camera.ViewMatrix);
parameter_ViewProjection.SetValue(camera.ViewProjectionMatrix);
}


The .fx file for drawing lines is as follows:



//=============================================
//----------- [XNA to HLSL Variables] ---------
//=============================================

shared float4x4 ViewProjection;

//=============================================
//------------------ [Structs] ----------------
//=============================================

struct VertexShaderInput
{
float4 Position : POSITION0;
float4 Colour : COLOR0;
};

struct VertexShaderOutput
{
float4 Position : POSITION0;
float4 Colour : COLOR0;
};

struct PixelShaderOutput
{
float4 Colour : COLOR0;
};

//=============================================
//------------ Technique: Default -------------
//=============================================

VertexShaderOutput VertexShaderFunction(VertexShaderInput input)
{
VertexShaderOutput output;

output.Position = mul(input.Position, ViewProjection);
output.Colour = input.Colour;

return output;
}

PixelShaderOutput PixelShaderFunction(VertexShaderOutput input)
{
PixelShaderOutput output;

output.Colour = input.Colour;

return output;
}

technique Default
{
pass Pass0
{
AlphaBlendEnable = false; // No transparency

VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VertexShaderFunction();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PixelShaderFunction();
}
}


What haven't I set correctly?

It would appear that the 'shared' keyword does naff all in XNA 4.0. What are my alternatives?
