Hi all,

I need to write a GUI app which do the followings:
1. My app waits for events from other app(actually this is a network
adapter driver) running in kernel. The driver writes to file and
signal my app to read the file.
2. My app also need o communicate this the driver using IOCTL.

Can i do it in C#? can C# wait for events signaled from app written in
C\C++ app running in on kernel and sends messages to device using
IOCTL?

How complicated is it going to be? I'm quite noob in C# programming.
should I consider duing it in C|C++ which I am quite noob as well?

TIA,

Hi Eran,

I am not familiar with the device control API but I don't think there
should be a problem importing Device Control API in C# (As long as
it's used in user mode of course).

If you are familiar with the API, maybe this post can help you:

By the way, you can also post your question at
microsoft.public.development.device.drivers newsgroup.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Moty
