Hi I'm trying to get a basic effect running in my engine, but I am having difficulties getting the parameters from my code into the effect. They seem to be sticking at the initial value. For instance I have added time to the glow EffectEdit sample and added a sin(time) term to make the glow pulse. It works fine in EffectEdit, but in my engine, the time sticks at the initial value of zero. I have verified this in the debugger, I am setting the correct value (via Effect.SetFloat) every frame, but in the effect file it stays at zero (even though Effect.GetFloat returns the value I just set). I am having similar problems with my transformation matrices. Any ideas Could I have my device set up incorrectly Thanks
I'm setting my params outside begin/end render block so it's not the lack of calling CommitChanges (although I have tried that unsuccessfully).
Are there any good resources/tutorials around for setting up basic effects The MSDN documentation that I have found seems a little sparse...

I have looked at it before. I thought I was doing exactly the same. However a second glance showed that I wasn't calling SetTechnique... I assumed that a sensible default was assumed (since it was managing to render my technique anyway).
Perhaps it should warn in debug, and/or patch the parameters into the technique that is chosen as default for rendering...
