4.5 Effectinterfaces have passed away in Direct3D11?

It could be so. In fact, you cannot find a 'd3d11effect.h' file for Direct3D 11 effect interfaces in the standard include folder

'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Include'.

However, you can see an optional Direct3D 11 effect library in the sample folder

'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK June 2010)\Samples\C++\Effects11'.

This implies that Direct3D 11 effect interfaces have been graded down to the optional sample from the standard. By the way, what differences are there on the interfaces between Direct3D10 and Direct3D11? The methods of those interfaces are basically same, but Direct3D11(Effects11) has no EffectPool interface.
In the latest sol9.2.0.43 library, we have implemented the following C++ classes for the optioal Direct3D11 effect interfaces. We have also introduced Direct3DX11EffectModel and Direct3DX11EffectVariablesTable classes to manage EffectVariables, which are a simple EffectDataModel and a HashTableBased EffectVariables manager.
 Direct3D11Blob
Direct3D11XShaderCompiler
ComIUnknown
Direct3DX11Effect
Direct3DX11EffectModel
Direct3DX11EffectVariablesTable
ComInterface
Direct3DX11EffectPass
Direct3DX11EffectTechnique
Direct3DX11EffectVariable
Direct3DX11EffectConstantBuffer
Direct3DX11EffectBlendVariable
Direct3DX11EffectDepthStencilVariable
Direct3DX11EffectDepthStencilViewVariable
Direct3DX11EffectMatrixVariable
Direct3DX11EffectRasterizerVariable
Direct3DX11EffectRenderTargetViewVariable
Direct3DX11EffectSamplerVariable
Direct3DX11EffectScalarVariable
Direct3DX11EffectShaderResourceVariable
Direct3DX11EffectShaderVariable
Direct3DX11EffectStringVariable
Direct3DX11EffectVectorVariable
The following 'Direct3DX11MultipleLightedSpheresEffect' example shows how to use Direct3DX11Effect classes on Direct3D11 platform.
