DeviceIoControl Help,

[ttan]

How do I send a buffer down to a driver and receive back a new buffer from
that driver?

I received the new buffer from the driver but it give me the wrong data.
And how do I know if DeviceIoControl send my data down?

Is there a way to convert the IntPtr buffer to byte[] buffer?

thanks in advance,
