Visual studio 2010 and kernel level programming!

I have MS Visual Studio 2010 and I am planning to start kernel level & hardware driver programming..

Can i use MS Studio 2010 to do that? if, what exactly i need to add for that IDE?

In another way... what i need to do if i want to compile the following code in MS visual studio 2010? and what kind of project should i choose?

#define _X86_
#include "wdm.h"

NTSTATUS DriverEntry( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT theDriverObject,
IN PUNICODE_STRING theRegistryPath )
{
DbgPrint("Hello World!");
return STATUS_SUCCESS;
}

updated: thanks guys... what i need to add here http://i56.tinypic.com/9jhw84.png

Solution

  • Use the compiler and build scripts from the DDK. You can use any IDE you like, as long as it can call the DDK build script.

    EDIT: BTW, your code should not define _X86_. The DDK build tool will define the right macros corresponding to the target version of Windows.
