Time Doth Flee

Just realized I’ve now been blogging on MSDN for a bit over two years- that covers two OS releases [Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7] and WDF releases [1.7 and 1.9]. To bow to the Dead again- a long, strange trip it has been. I started out wanting to

Yet another WDF Blogger

But that is a good thing.  With a post yesterday , Neslihan has made her MSDN blogs debut. As I said long ago , you can expect great things to come from her.  She is already our resident expert on all things WLK and particularly with respect

Driver Packages and Drivers- Shall We Disambiguate?

So you want to know how to sign your driver, eh? Let us step aside and improve our thinking for a moment, so we can be smarter about what we are asking for- because I don’t think it’s the driver you actually want to sign… What is a Driver Package? At

The Case of the Unexpected Overload

So are you using C++ in a KMDF driver and scratching your head over some unexpectedly unresolved references? I recently engaged in a somewhat prolonged conversation with Doron and a dev I won’t name [since I didn’t ask for permission] about C++ in KMDF

Having trouble with WTT Logger from your WDTF script?

Just a quick note, since someone asked about this recently on one of the WDTF support aliases and for a change, I actually knew the answer without looking it up. The sample scripts will try to create a COM automation object from the ProgId WTTLogger.Logger.

2008 DDC slides now available to all!

Got an email late last week stating that the material I and others presented at the 2008 Driver Developers Conference (which Dieter and James want renamed to Driver Development and Test Conference- more power to that idea!) is now available here . The

He’s Gone

It has been a tough week, and a busy one.  I’m getting ready to leave on a vacation, and trying to get all those last-minute things done.  While my last post discussed the genesis of what I call the Configuration Agent and the WDF QA Universal

Crazy is as crazy does

When I was an undergraduate at CalTech , my student residence - Ricketts House - had a tradition where we relieved some of the tedium and stress of the annual election for house officers [President, Vice-President, Social Vice-President, Secretary and

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

Progress

When I first got the idea of digging up my old tapes and digitizing them before I lost them for good, I was chatting with another ‘softie (I believe it may have been Craig Ziegler, who manages the test team for the WDK) at the big party during WinHEC

Using C++ in a KMDF driver part 1- a pattern for using contexts as objects

This is an article I’ve started probably close to a dozen times since I started this blog, but never published.  In part because of all the heat the topic of using C++ in the kernel generates, and the rest perhaps because of my reaction to that heat.

Automated Jobs and Library Jobs

I received an IM late yesterday evening (my time) from “James” (via the Web) asking what the difference is between an automated job and a library job. Unfortunately, I wasn’t around to answer it (I started work about 2 AM PDT today, and the IM was from

Motivation

What makes a person do what they do?  One thing we try to be at Microsoft (and another good attribute to have) is self-critical- to be able to objectively [to the best of our innate abilities,as it is hard to avoid some subjectivity in this domain]
