Here I am trying to make DAC work on boar of FPGA spartan 3E.I write 
code as per manual but it don't give desired output.I attached the code 
here. Can anyone tell me where the problem is?

Look for a working SPI-Core and use it.

Check the spi protocol with the datasheet of your SPI-DAC. Use 
simulation and compare the waveform of the simulator with that in your 
datasheet

Does your spi-clk toggle? I guess not. And also check the direction of 
the port.

Thank you for your response.
my spi_sck is working proper. And I also check for SPI but I don't find 
any problem with it.I am beginner. if possible,can you explain in detail 
?

OK, I missed the toggling by "XOR 1'. See it seems to toggle. But i 
assume its not using a IOB-Flipflop. Have you set any constraint? 
Otherwise is likely that the sck takes some ns longer to propagate to 
the pin. Try post place&route simulation or use a scop and check spi set 
and hold times in respect to sck.

You are right it is about constrain, I try to solve it but not working. 
it is gives below warnings. can you tell me how to remove that warnings?

The warnings are just telling you that your signal "dacsend" is always 
set to all zeros. You never put any other value in there so you have a 
signal stuck at one value.

This is usually not what you want and that is why you are getting a 
warning.
