Geometry shader with stream output

Hi folks,



I've been trying to generate shadow volumes with the gpu.
But can't get the geometry shader to produce output.
So how can I create a shader with stream output in slimdx? Can someone give me an example with code in hlsl and slimdx?


Edit:

@ CHill60
here's some code

Shader

struct GSPS_INPUT
{
    float4 Pos : POSITION;
    float2 Tex : TEXCOORD;
    float3 Norm : NORMAL;
};

struct GSPS_INPUTO
{
    float4 Pos : SV_POSITION;
};

struct GSPS_OUT
{
    float4 Pos : SV_POSITION;
};

GSPS_INPUTO VS(GSPS_INPUT input)
{
    GSPS_INPUTO oput;
    oput.Pos = input.Pos;
    return oput;
}

[maxvertexcount(3)]
void GS( triangle GSPS_INPUTO input[3], inout TriangleStream<GSPS_OUT> TriStream )
{
    //Test geometry shader
    GSPS_OUT output;
    output.Pos = input[0].Pos;
    TriStream.Append(output);

    output.Pos = input[1].Pos;
    TriStream.Append(output);

    output.Pos = input[2].Pos;
    TriStream.Append(output);

    TriStream.RestartStrip();
}

technique10 Technique1
{
    pass Pass1
    {
        SetGeometryShader(ConstructGSWithSO(CompileShader(gs_5_0, GS()), "SV_POSITION.xyzw;"));
	SetVertexShader(CompileShader(vs_5_0, VS()));
	SetPixelShader(NULL);
    }
}

This is the initialization:

ShaderBytecode effectByteCode = ShaderBytecode.CompileFromFile("geoTest.fx", "fx_5_0", ShaderFlags.Debug | ShaderFlags.SkipOptimization, EffectFlags.None);
geoEf = new Effect(_device, effectByteCode);
buffer = new StreamOutputBufferBinding();
BufferDescription bdesc = new BufferDescription()
{
     BindFlags = BindFlags.StreamOutput | BindFlags.VertexBuffer,
     CpuAccessFlags = CpuAccessFlags.None,
     OptionFlags = ResourceOptionFlags.None,
     SizeInBytes = 1024 * 1024 * 4,
     Usage = ResourceUsage.Default
};
buffer.Buffer = new SlimDX.Direct3D11.Buffer(_device, bdesc);
EffectPass p = geoEf.GetTechniqueByIndex(0).GetPassByIndex(0);
L = new InputLayout(_device, p.Description.Signature, new[] {
new InputElement("POSITION", 0, Format.R32G32B32A32_Float, InputElement.AppendAligned, 0,
    InputClassification.PerVertexData, 0),
new InputElement("TEXCOORD", 0, Format.R32G32_Float, InputElement.AppendAligned, 0,
    InputClassification.PerVertexData, 0),
new InputElement("NORMAL", 0, Format.R32G32B32_Float, InputElement.AppendAligned,0,
    InputClassification.PerVertexData, 0)
});
effectByteCode.Dispose();
buffers = new SlimDX.Direct3D11.Buffer[1];

This is the draw call:

device.ImmediateContext.StreamOutput.SetTargets(buffer);
EffectPass m_effectPass = geoEf.GetTechniqueByIndex(0).GetPassByIndex(0);
device.ImmediateContext.InputAssembler.InputLayout = L;
device.ImmediateContext.InputAssembler.PrimitiveTopology = PrimitiveTopology.TriangleList;
device.ImmediateContext.InputAssembler.SetIndexBuffer(m_indexBuffer2d,
   SlimDX.DXGI.Format.R16_UInt, 0);
device.ImmediateContext.InputAssembler.SetVertexBuffers(
   0,
   new VertexBufferBinding(m_vertexBuffer, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(Vertex)), 0));

m_effectPass.Apply(device.ImmediateContext);
device.ImmediateContext.DrawIndexed(count, 0, 0);
device.ImmediateContext.StreamOutput.GetTargets(1).CopyTo(buffers, 0);
device.ImmediateContext.StreamOutput.SetTargets(null);

And I ceep getting no stream output.
