WDK: Thanks for the BINPLACE sample...

As one voice that bitched about not having a BINPLACE sample in the WDK at
DevCon, I would like to say “Thanks!” to whomever in the WDK team whipped
that up under %basedir%\src\general\build\binplace.

Cheers,
-Dave

David, thank you very much for initiating the positive feedback for our efforts - it’s really encouraging for all of us!

It’s great to see an acknowledgement that Microsoft folks not only listened, but acted quickly on a feedback from the drivers developers conferences.

Way to go!

We do thank you for these samples. Both the binplace and consumes/produces
capabilities were not demonstrated much in earlier versions.

It is similar to the .rc files for drivers. All the samples use standard
Microsoft include files that are not appropriate for other companies, so you
have to take the sample .rc file and the common.ver and the ntverp.h files
in the include directory, merging them together in your own .rc. If another
technique is better for 3rd party driver producers and especially those that
have an in-box presence it would be nice if it was documented and a sample
provided. If the driver is not in-box then only a new toolset will require
changing the .rc file, otherwise it would nice to be able to create one .rc
that will work properly in both environments.
