thanks tim,
But Mr. Mathew told me
if you want to handle IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL, you will have
to handle the MJ_CREATE & MJ_CLOSE.
i just want some data to be passed from user mode to the audio driver, and i
really don't want to make a mess out of the driver by putting highly
complicated code.
i have registered my driver, using ioregisterinterface and then
IoSetDeviceInterfaceState(&InstanceString,TRUE);
I use SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces, SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail
to get my instance in user mode.
but createfile returns me Filenotfound err code 2.
now let me try your approach, Kernel streaming one
Now, i have opened up msvad simple, and i would like receive some data(
2KB) from the user mode,
So my questions are,
(i) Any samples available to transfer data from usermode to kernel
mode.please point me
(ii) Do i have to define a new KSPROPERTY
(iii) How to do the user mode part , what should be done from user
mode to send the calls?
Any code snippets are welcome.
Thanks.
Regards,
Vipin
