I have started working on a KMD project for exercise. I have opened an empty KMDF project and started writing the km component. Now I want to add a User Mode component.. Do I need to open a new project that contains both parts or is there a way to add user mode component on a KMDF project?
After advising someone experienced with driver development in visual studio I came to this answer: The user mode component has to be separate from the kernel mode component. In Visual Studio it is done easily with adding another project to the same solution (no need to create a new solution). Then, the kernel mode component and the user mode component, which are basically two different 'applications' can communicate with each other by IOCTL and major function.
