hi ,

i have some basic questions. please bear with me and
help me.

  1. what is the difference between a user mode dll
    and a kernel mode dll.
  2. how do we make a kernel mode dll.
  3. what in a user mode dll restricts us from calling
    the functions in the dll from kernel mode .

thank you.

  1. The kernel mode DLL is linked with the kernel mode import libraries that
    are provided by the DDK, where as a user mode DLL is linked with libraries
    provided by the SDK and/or a development environment such as Visual Studio.

  2. You define a function or a variable as declspec(_dllexport). In your
    sources you declare it as LIBRARY.

  3. The kernel mode functionality is not exported to user mode.
