Does anyone have an example of using KsLoadResource?

I am trying to read a resource out of a kernel driver, but it keeps coming up with the error STATUS_RESOURCE_DATA_NOT_FOUND. I am not sure if it's the ImageBase (which I passed in NULL) or some mapping issue with the type RCDATA versus RT_RCDATA.

You can't pass NULL for the ImageBase. Unlike a user-mode process, there's no good way for KsLoadResource to find your driver. You have to provide the ImageBase.

Fortunately, that's easy to get:  DriverStart in your DRIVER_OBJECT.

What I don't see is how you pass a string to the ResourceName: LPSTR, LPWSTR, ANSI_STRING, or UNICODE_STRING. Perhaps you should just use an integer.
