I have some shaders that are unfinished and I'm not using them anywhere in the program,but they're part of the project and Visual Studio gives me a

1>FXC : error X3501: 'main': entrypoint not found[/quote] why would it even ask me that,and since my shaders are compiled at run-time,why would FXC even activate during build time.How do I turn it off,I don't wanna keep removing/adding files to the project each time I build,just so this error wouldn't appear.

It's asking you because VS 2012 has a MSBuild step for .hlsl files that compiles them with the shader compiler. If you right-click on the shader file in your project and go to the properties, you can exclude the file from the build process.
