    Effects in custom files.

    Is it possible to load an effect from a .fx file in a content processor and then write that loaded effect out to a xnb?

    Thanks

    Yes.

    Call Effect.CompileEffectFrom* with whatever source you have in your ContentProcessor (be sure to pass the TargetPlatform value you get from the ContentProcessorContext). Write the result out using ContentWriter.WriteObject<CompiledEffect> and load it up with ContentReader.ReadObject<Effect>.
