First Sample BitmapEffect

  • Article

We've announced a while ago that the BitmapEffects pipeline within WinFx (particularly in Windows Presentation Foundation) would be extensible. However, no samples were provided. Today I'm posting the first sample that we've created for test purposes. It demonstrates how to build a simple BitmapEffect.

(please note: When building this sample you will hit a build error (Error result 1 returned from 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe'.). Unfortunately this is expected at this time and this is being worked on so it's addressed in a future update. Also, in order to build the sample, you should follow section 6.2 in the Windows SDK readme.)
