Not all of them

Alas, all that stuff I mentioned in my last post won’t make it into the Windows 7 WDK. As we get close to the final days of the product cycle, it gets harder to justify code changes.  In this case, my own choices in handling odd cases were my undoing.

Exceptions rule!

I’ve decided to revert to storytelling mode today.  So sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of my fateful trip (or click something useful- you’re the one deciding, and I’m the one typing to satisfy whatever inner demon has driven me to do

Adaptive Fault Injection

One of the topics I covered in Ilias ' and my joint presentation at WinHEC this year was new requirements coming for getting a WHQL signature for drivers using KMDF (UMDF as well, but this discussion doesn't currently apply to them).  One part of

Determining a KMDF driver's client version

This was probably the most fun I've had in a while. The initial versions of WdfVerifier simply collected the version information recorded by the KMDF coinstaller when it is used to install the framework for a driver. Unfortunately: not every driver needs

Determining WDF runtime and client versions

What a long, strange trip, it was, getting to WinHEC! I waited for a shuttle to the airport at my apartment, and the rain [which was fairly heavy] turned into hail! But by the time we got near the airport, everything was dry. Well, LA is probably still

New in WdfVerifier- the tweaks and fixes

Now that the PDC is underway, and WinHEC is nigh, I'm going to provide a quick peek at changes coming to the WdfVerifier tool (these will be in the Windows 7 Beta WDK, which isn't far away, but obviously I still can't say more than that). Doh! First off,

DDC Day 3 (and final) soon to come

In my post about yesterday , I left out an observation I feel the need to make.  My intent for listing the folks I met in the morning wasn't so much to drop names as to observe that (a) they were appreciative of what I have done in terms of blogging

DDC starts in less than an hour

Plenty of good stuff for today- begin with Eliyas and Peter going over what's new in WDF for Windows 7 (or as we prefer to think of it WDF 1.9, since much of it also works all the back to Windows 2000 [KMDF] or Windows XP [UMDF]).  It continues later

Looking Ahead- Conferences!

Since I noticed Patrick has spilled the beans [just before the second question], I might as well cover this topic while I wait for my dinner to bake [I eschew microwave ovens these days- just seems better to let it cook the old-fashioned- if early-to-mid-twentieth

The light at the end of the WDF 1.7 tunnel

I know people want to know about this, but firm dates still prove elusive.  My best guess is today or tomorrow at this point. Basically we're trying to put an interim package up that satisfies everyone and isn't going to cause us foreseeable problems

A New Target Date For WDF 1.7!

As noted in the previous post (among others) , I've not been saying anything about when WDF 1.7 will reappear for all those eager to begin using it, biding my time and waiting for a date that sounds achievable and has been given to a customer from our

A Brief History of WdfVerifier

I'll begin my article set about the Windows Driver Foundation Verifier Control Application, which I've always called WdfVerifier, with a short discussion of its genesis, as this may help in understanding what it is, what it can do for you, and why it
