Does someone convert filspy (directories: filter, fspykd, lib and user) into VC++ already? If yes, could you send these dsp files to me? Thanks.

I verified the web knowlege base already, it doesn’t provide the solution. Please see this link:

Susan,
I converted it into a VC 7.1 solution, but I did a bit more than that - factored out some libraries and converted code into C++.
It’s not VC6 though.
Let me know if you are interested.
Regards,
Alex Shvedov

As has been pointed out repeatedly in this and other forum’s building kernel
mode components with VC and a DSP file is one of the best ways to create
subtle and not so subtle bugs. Hopefullly, you will never employ this
technique for code that leaves your office. When I;ve managed people who
employed this technique quickly lost their employment.

Use DDKBUILD.BAT. He has step by step help to create a valid project using
Visual Studio .NET 2003. It should be easy to use VC6, but why?
If you don’t know how to convert a build project into a pure Visual Studio
project, you shouldn’t try it.

As someone who tried this (and even suggested the *.sln), I agree with Don
100%.
It may (or may not) be good for experimenting of some sort, but it is
dangerous.
For GUI lovers [like me], here is just one (1) note. VS likes to search its
“system”
include directorties first, so - unless you enable “Show Includes” and check
it out
manually (I said “manually”) -
you unknowingly end up with the following:
- something included from \w2k<br>- same
- same
- something, like <except.h> is included from …\VS\include directory
(damn!)
- something included from \w2k<br>
So you use a couple of headers for w2k PLUS a couple of headers for wnet
or xp plus w2k versions again plus …
If this is not an argument NOT to use GUI builds when things are serious, I
don’t know what is.

Really…
Some WDMWIZ was on Oney’s book CD, it was for VC6, if I remember correctly.

WDM Wizard and SRCTODSP from NuMega are some of the tools.
A DSP is very handy for browsing through a large driver project.
Visual studio IDE is also great for editing, source safe integration etc.
It should NOT be used for building the driver though.
