Hi,
We are to do a project in C#.NET. Is it possible to develop device drivers
in C#.NET. Or else any possible of doing Windows Programming?
If any of these projects are not possible. Need any suggestions for the
project.

Vinoth,
I would ask as I was you this question in the newsgroup
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.csharp and crossposted to
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vc
You will maybe get answers here, however I think that it is good to get as
much possible answers there can be on this question.
I hope you get your answers

No, you cannot develop a device driver in C# for any current versions of the
windows platform.
If by "windows programming" you are asking if you can develop a windows
application, the answer is yes. The sky is the limit.

Really?? How exactly will .NET fit between the low-level APIs and the
device controllers? Let's take a simple example of sending a StartUnit
command to the first physical disk of a SCSI RAID-10 array.
Let's say a disk defragmentation program then wants to re-arrange the
blocks on said disk above, are you saying the calls it makes to the
driver will be running in the CLR???
Fogetting about all that for a minute; what exact advantages will .NET
device drivers have over the current model?

As I said, they are thinking about how it may look. It would not be today's
CLR - maybe a special kernel level CLR. It could be a special version for
driver development . As, TMK, it is not on drawing board yet, who knows
what they will (or even if they will) come up with. However as kernel level
drivers are historically tricky to get right and fatal if done wrong, it is
something I heard they want to look seriously at. Neal Christiansen (MS
US-Cor File Services) talks about todays issues, some work they have done in
the driver space, and talks a little about what some are thinking about in
this video on channel9: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=37302

Hi
We have an access db which records daily orders. We would like the orders to
be downloaded to a windows mobile 2003 device via usb cradle. Drivers then
take along the device and get signatures from customers when items
delivered. Once drivers are back, the information to be synched back to the
access db as drivers may have amended the order detail.
How does one go about synching to/from mobile device? Are there any code
examples...

Hey,
I have a device for which I have to install the drivers. For this, I have the required .sys files as also the .inf file.
I wish to have the drivers installed before I plug in my device so that the "New Hardware Found" wizard can be avoided i.e. the device when plugged in for the very first time is recognised by windows and drivers are found installed.
Can anybody please guide me as I have not worked on device drivers earlier ?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
