I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I am curious, is it possible to write a driver in .NET code? I am talking more software driver here rather than hardware driver (ie something like a file system filter as opposed to a driver for a printer or something).

Trying to figure out if there is anyway built into windows 7/Vista/XP and/or Dpinst to verify that a driver is installed? I created a program that uses DPinst to install a driver and now I need to figure out how to tell the user that it is safe to close the program once the driver is install as the driver takes longer on some machines to install. Would anyone know how to get this to work?
View 7 RepliesI need to create a driver that can be installed as a printer and instead of printing to a physical printer it needs to print to a text file. I have no idea how to do this. I have searched for an answer on these forums but so far I haven't had much luck. I know it isn't easy to create a driver in VB but I don't know if this is technically a "driver" since it isn't interfacing with actual hardware.

I want to remove a HID driver with the Devcon.exe tool. Using the console (cmd.exe) with the following command, there is no problem. The driver ist removed immediatly.
D:devcon remove =keyboard "HIDVID_1784*"
If I try the same from the application with:
Shell("C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /k D:devcon remove =keyboard ""HIDVID_1784*""", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, True, 1000)
or:
process.StartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe", " /k D:devcon remove =keyboard ""HIDVID_1784*""")
process.Start()
then devcon returns the message:
"The 1 device(s) are ready to be removed. To remove the devices, reboot the system."
and the device is not removed or disabled, and of course, I donīt want to reboot the system.
Does anyone have the same problem or even better can tell me, how to solve this problem, so that the driver ist immediatly removed?

I have been working with TWAIN driver for few days. I have learnt how to connect to the scanner or get the working scanners connected to the machine. I am having a problem now, eventhough i get connected to the scanner, I am not able to set the capabilities from my application. The scanner scans using the capabilities that are set on it but not from my application. I have looked at the sample code given with twain pro but even that doesnt set the capabilities of the scanner. For example if the scanner is set to 300 dpi and I set 200dpi from my application, the scanner scans with 300 dpi. It gives me an error saying that the value given is out of range.
