The lab shown is not quite in sync with the version on the web. For instance the lab shows the SampleVertextShader.hlsl as the same one in VS 2012, but if you are using VS 2013 the SampleVertextShader.hlsl is quite different, to see this best just use VS 2013. Scroll down to see the rest of the blog.

The shader from VS 2012 will work in VS 2013, so no worries. But one of the differences is that the DirectX 11.2 shaders compile inside of the C++, along with a few more things.
