Re: WDM or KMDF ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

what type of device are you developing for? Depending on the class, the way
it hooks into the system, and the performance requirements, you may also be
able to use UMDF.


The target device does DMA and issues interrupts so I don't think I can
use a user mode driver.
Thanks for the answers, it looks like I have to go KMDF.

Hello,

To develop a new driver what is the best choice, going Windows Driver
Model -WDM- or Kernel Mode Driver Framework -KMDF-?
I see there is more information available for WDM but KMDF is newer
(so better?).

Thanks,
