InputElement Constructor(String,Int32,Format,Int32)

The semantic index for the element. A semantic index modifies a semantic, with an integer index number. A semantic index is only needed in a case where there is more than one element with the same semantic. For example, a 4x4 matrix would have four components each with the semantic name matrix, however each of the four component would have different semantic indices (0, 1, 2, and 3).

Initializes a new instance of the InputElement struct.

'Declaration
 
Public Function New( _
   ByVal name As System.String, _

Parameters

name: The HLSL semantic associated with this element in a shader input-signature.
index: The semantic index for the element. A semantic index modifies a semantic, with an integer index number. A semantic index is only needed in a case where there is more than one element with the same semantic. For example, a 4x4 matrix would have four components each with the semantic name matrix, however each of the four component would have different semantic indices (0, 1, 2, and 3).
format: The data type of the element data.
slot: An integer value that identifies the input-assembler. Valid values are between 0 and 15.
