Walt Ritscher created a great tool that lets you easily work with WPF shader effects, called Shazzam. This tool makes it very easy to grab some shader code, perhaps off the internet, try out various input values, see what effect they have on images, and then grab some generated source code (C# or VB) and paste it into your app. Very cool!

A must have for [the] HLSL dev. - Jon Galloway
I just got a chance to test this tool out. Took me 30 seconds to notice how f-ing awesome it is! I was looking for a VS shader template to save some time, but this blows it out of the water! Great job! Thank you!

I need some help. Shazzam won’t run after I updated it. This is the error that I’m getting
Cannot create instance of ‘CodeTabView’ defined in assembly ‘Shazzam, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Error at object ‘System.Windows.Controls.Grid’ in markup file ‘Shazzam;component/mainwindow.xaml’ Line 190 Position 5
Any solutions? thanks in advance
Hey, when will you support multiple images? Currently I have a shader with 4 sampler2D imports. Your tool is great for testing things fast.

@DC
What version are you running? Check the about section in the sidebar to find out.
forgot one: I really like the Auto-Generated Control Information area
so if you combine the shader source and controls tab together, please keep that are there as well (expanded is best). I tend to look at it a lot when working with the source.
I fixed the problem by reinstalling the .net 3.5 framework. Shazzam is really great! It saved me a lot of time designing custom shaders. Thanks a lot Walt. I use it extensively to create shaders for my application. You can check it out at http://hdprogramming.blogspot.com/ if you like. Thanks a million!
