WDM to KMDF porting guide now available on WHDC

  • Artikel

We have been working on this one for the last couple of weeks.  There is now a WDM to KMDF porting guide on WHDC.  There are 2 documents in the download.  The first is a very in depth document which goes into great detail about each function, IRP major code, etc that you need to port over.  The second is a set of tables that will help you with the porting. This second document is much shorter then the first.  The tables map from KMDF function groupings to WDM concepts and also try to map in the other direction, from WDM to KMDF.

Please let me know if the docs are useful or if you find anything confusing.

    strik, i forwarded your feedback to the WHDC doc folks.  While we cannot change the doc formats for all Microsoft.com content, we can change the WHDC docs.  the WHDC folks will be fixing the doc generation process so that this particular issue with the Title field will be fixed in future documents.  Please let me know if there are any other fields that need to be fixed.

    thx!

    Would it be possible to use something like PDF instead of self-extracting-EXE-containing-a-DOC-file as a format?

    I, for one, would like to be able to read this kind of thing from non-Windows boxes, where Word is not installed and PE-format EXE files won't run.  (And that's apart from the security issues that strik points out, where we try to train users to not automatically run or open everything they see on the web.)

    If not, that's fine, but it can't hurt to ask.  ;-)

    Doron, thanks for forwarding this. I had a closer look, but I did not notice anything other than this problem.

    I think Bryan has a point in asking whether PDF or something similar is possible. In fact, this was what I meant with my first posting, too. Of course, I know that PDF is not the best format, either.

    For me, even .TXT would do. :)

    There are alot of guidelines that dictate how any docs on microsoft.com are posted, getting these changed is not something that can happen overnight ;).  The doc team knows that folks want the docs in other formats and is weighing their different options.
