Anyone working with WDF?

Hi everyone -

Has anyone been doing any experimenting with WDF? I’m working with a build
from last year’s WinHEC - have had no success getting in the Beta program so
don’t know what the current stage of WDF development is.

I’d really like to consider this for some forthcoming driver development -
it took about a week to get a skeleton driver going for one of out existing
products just to see if I could get the PnP and power functions for the
board installed and running.

what problems have you had joining the WDF beta? It’s open enrollment,
so you shouldn’t have trouble getting in.

You need to join the WDF beta and get refreshed. The 2004 winhec drop is not
very useful, the current beta is quite useful. There should be no problem
getting into the beta. Go here:

Hello,
I am using user mode driver api’s in my user mode application. I faced a
problem,
When i press F5 in the Visual C++ IDE, my program works fine. But when i
click execute from the toolbar “!”, my program wont work. The user mode api
is free build version.
My program uses the exported api functions.

Any clues?
Kindly ignore the disclaimer.

Regards,
Siva

I went thru the signup page submission twice with not so much as an
acknowledgement either time. E-mailed the beta contact address & just got a
form letter with the same signup instructions.

Unless it’s generic spam it goes into a separate “Spam” folder in Outlook -
hasn’t been anything there in months except out-of-office bouncebacks

After reading the start of this thread, it motivated me to go apply to
get the WDF Beta a few days ago. To date, I haven’t heard anything back
yet either from them. Just hope that they are backlogged is all.

-Mike

I applied months ago, and I dont think that I did receive a confirmation.
Then again, I use postini junk email screener from the ISP, so that might
have been blocked there. BUT WHAT I SAW is that the WDF beta update
notification, and I was able to see that it is included in the list of betas
I am registered with. SO IT MAY BE A DIFFERENT case …

I applied a few weeks back – it took about a week before I got my sign-up
e-mail from MS.
