Why Xna doesn't load .fx files

Question

I'm learning Xna, and I have some trouble with loading non .xnb file formats. I don't know why, but Xna searches only for .xnb files. Here is my code:

Effect simpleColorEffect;
simpleColorEffect = Content.Load<Effect>("SimpleColor"); 

I saw some solutions for this, but they didn't work. How can i solve this?

I would thank you any advices.

Answer 1

Put specific file into Content folder and make sure that content processor for that file is set to Effect - XNA framework.
