direct x 11 invalid argument when creating vertex shader - directx-11

Question

Here is the Shader Code File Name:Shader.shader
struct VOut
{
float4 position : SV_POSITION;
float4 color : COLOR;
};
VOut VMain(float4 position : POSITION, float4 color : COLOR)
{
VOut output;
output.position = position;
output.color = color;
return output;
}
float4 PMain(float4 position : SV_POSITION, float4 color : COLOR) : SV_TARGET
{
return color;
}
Here is how I compile my shaders
RasterShader::RasterShader(ID3D11Device* device,LPCWSTR vFile,LPCSTR vEntry,LPCSTR vVersion,LPCWSTR pFile,LPCSTR pEntry,LPCSTR pVersion)
{
ID3DBlob* compiledCode=nullptr;
vShader = nullptr;
pShader = nullptr;
errors = 0;
if (FAILED(Compile(vFile,vEntry,vVersion,&compiledCode)))
{
errors = 1;
return;
}
if (FAILED(device->CreateVertexShader(compiledCode->GetBufferPointer(), compiledCode->GetBufferSize(),nullptr, &vShader)))
{
compiledCode->Release();
MessageBox(NULL, L"Failed To Create Vertex Shader", L"Failed Vertex Shader", MB_OK);
errors = 1;
return;
}
D3D11_INPUT_ELEMENT_DESC desc[] =
{
{"POSITION",0,DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT,0,0,D3D11_INPUT_PER_VERTEX_DATA,0}
,{"COLOR",0,DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT,0,12,D3D11_INPUT_PER_VERTEX_DATA,0}
};
if (FAILED(device->CreateInputLayout(desc, 2,compiledCode->GetBufferPointer(),compiledCode->GetBufferSize(),&inputLayout)))
{
compiledCode->Release();
MessageBox(NULL, L"Failed To Create Input Layout", L"Failed Input Layout", MB_OK);
errors = 1;
return;
}
compiledCode->Release();
if (FAILED(Compile(pFile,pEntry,pVersion,&compiledCode)))
{
errors = 1;
return;
}
if (FAILED(device->CreatePixelShader(compiledCode->GetBufferPointer(), compiledCode->GetBufferSize(), nullptr, &pShader)))
{
compiledCode->Release();
MessageBox(NULL, L"Failed To Create Pixel Shader", L"Failed Pixel Shader", MB_OK);
errors = 1;
return;
}
compiledCode->Release();
}
HRESULT RasterShader::Compile(LPCWSTR fileName,LPCSTR entry,LPCSTR version,ID3DBlob** code)
{
ID3DBlob* errors=nullptr;
HRESULT hr = D3DCompileFromFile(fileName,nullptr,nullptr
,entry,version
,0,0,code,&errors);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
if (errors!=nullptr)
{
CString data((char*)errors->GetBufferPointer());
MessageBox(NULL, data.GetBuffer(), L"Shader Compile Errors", MB_OK);
data.ReleaseBuffer();
errors->Release();
}
if (code) { (*code)->Release(); }
}
return hr;
}
RasterShader * RasterShader::Create(ID3D11Device* device,LPCWSTR vFile,LPCSTR vMain,LPCSTR vVersion,LPCWSTR pFile,LPCSTR pMain,LPCSTR pVersion)
{
RasterShader* shader = new RasterShader(device,vFile,vMain,vVersion,pFile,pMain,pVersion);
if (shader->errors == 1)
{
delete shader;
shader = nullptr;
}
return shader;
}
Here is how I create my shader
shader = RasterShader::Create(directx->getDevice(), L"Shader.shader","VMain","vs_4_0",L"Shader.shader","PMain","ps_4_0");
if (shader == nullptr)
{
errors = 1;
return;
}
Here is how I create my device
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL levels[] = {
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_2,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_3,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1
};
//CREATE DEVICE AND CONTEXT
HRESULT hr = D3D11CreateDevice(nullptr,D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE,0,D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_BGRA_SUPPORT | D3D10_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG
,levels,ARRAYSIZE(levels),D3D11_SDK_VERSION
,&device,&level,&context);
The Returned/Supported feature level is 9_1
The program breaks at the point I create my VertexShader with the Message "FAILED TO CREATE VERTEX SHADER"
When I analyze the HRESULT returned by device->CreateVertexShader() I get the Error Code
E_INVALIDARG
When debug layer was enabled I got this error
CreateVertexShader: Encoded Vertex Shader size doesn't match specified size. [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #166: CREATEVERTEXSHADER_INVALIDSHADERBYTECODE]
I tired enquiring the size of my buffer. Not sure if helpful or if I did it right.
wchar_t buffer[256];
wsprintf(buffer, L"%d",sizeof((*code)->GetBufferPointer()));
MessageBox(NULL, buffer, L"A", MB_OK);
It prints 4
wchar_t buffer[256];
wsprintf(buffer, L"%d",sizeof((*code)->GetBufferSize()));
MessageBox(NULL, buffer, L"A", MB_OK);
It prints 164
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank U

Eurika I got it !!
Turns out my profile should be combined with my feature level as follows
Vertex Shader : vs_4_0_level_9_1
Pixel Shader : ps_4_0_level_9_1
Thank's Everyone :)
