.cso - High-level shader language, compiled bytecode


CSO development files are associated with DirectX SDK. A CSO file is a High-Level Shader Language compiled into bytecode. High Level Shader Language (HLSL) is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for the Direct3D 9 API to extend the shader assembly language, which later became the required shading language for the Direct3D 10 and higher unified shader model.

Naturally, other applications may also use the .cso file extension. Even malware can create .cso files. Be especially careful with .cso files coming from an unknown source!

Can't open .cso file?


When you double-click a file to open it, Windows checks the file name extension. If Windows recognizes a filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize the file name extension, you receive the following message:

Windows can't open this file:

example.cso

To open this file, Windows must know which program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to automatically find it, or you can manually select one from a list of programs installed on your computer.

To avoid this error, you need to set the file association correctly.

Open Control Panel > Home Control Panel > Default Programs > Set Associations.
Select a file type from the list and click Change Program.

The .cso file extension is often incorrect!


cco, ceo, co, cos, cs, csi, csk, csl, csp, cxo, dso, fso, sco, so, sso

Is it possible that the file name extension is misspelled?
