Writing drivers in C#

c#, driver, drivers

Solution

Simply you can't. C# produces intermediate language that is interpreted by a virtual machine (.NET). All these stuff runs in user mode and WDM drivers run in kernel mode.

There is a DDK but it is not supported in VStudio either (but you can make a makefile project for compilation though).

Driver development is complex, prone to blue screen and requires a good understanding of C , kernel structures and mem manipulation. None of those skills are required for C# and .NET therefore there is a long and painful training path.

Problem

I have written earlier in C/C++ but currently, I need it to convert into C#. Can anyone tell me the code/way How to write drivers in C#? Actually currently I have some problems with my old application written in C++ and we have to write the drivers of our LPT1,COM Printers and other USB drivers in C#.
