Hello,

Is it possible to develop drivers for Windows with .net (managed code)?
If so, could you please point me to some documetation?

Thanks a lot,

Andrei Matei
 
Andrei,

It might be possible. You would have to create an unmanaged wrapper
that calls into managed code though. However, the practicality of this is
questionable. Since drivers usually have be very high performance, and you
are at the least going to incur a 10MB hit by loading the runtime, managed
code might not be the best way to go.

What are you trying to do?
 
Thanks for your answear.

I want to develop an app that would let you use multiple internet
connections in the same time (something that is known as connection
team-ing). Of course, it has to work transparently for the applications. So
I figure I should somehow emulate a connection or a network card or
something, so I guess I should write a driver. I'm not familiar with this
low level stuff, so any help or pointers will be grately appreciated.

If you know about some kind of documentation about this sort of stuff,
please tell me.

Thanks a lot,

Andrei Matei

Andrei,

I think I know what you are talking about. It's the kind of thing that
peer-to-peer download clients do (grabing multiple parts from multiple
clients).

The thing is, how would your app know how to segment the content that is
being downloaded?

Nevertheless, .NET is not suitable for this kind of work. Your best bet
would be to use C++.
