Subject: [ntdev] calling kernel driver function
directly from user mode App

hi,
I have a simple question :

Can we call a kernel driver function directly from the user
mode App in NT
4.0/2K?

A simple answer: NO!

or DeviceIOControl() function of IOCTL is the only way?

Or use ReadFile/WriteFile.

Is the other way round possible, means, can kernel driver
call user mode
function directly?

No, no, and no.

I am assuming that in either case, the function entry points
will be exposed
by either side.

thanks a lot,
Rajinder
