GDI_DRIVER Driver compilation with VS7.1 IDE

> Hi,
>
> Introduction:
> **********
> I am writing a display mirror driver, I am trying to use the VS7.1 (.NET)
> IDE to compile the driver, conversion to an .vsproj solution is done by

> 'Source to DSP converter' app provided with 'SoftIce driver suit'.
>
> The Problem:
> **********
> The mirror is build of to files: the miniport driver and the display

> no problems has occurred converting compiling and using the miniport

> in contrast, conversion of the display driver failed: the 'Source to DSP
> converter' doesn't support GDI_DRIVER conversions, SO..., I tried to do

> tricks: I have changed the TARGETTYPE of the GDI_DRIVER to DRIVER and then
> used the 'Source to DSP converter' with the new source file, the result

> a new .vsproj compiling a .sys driver I have changed the name of the

> to be .dll and removed the 'DriverEntry' DLL entry point from the project
> configuration, still, using the new driver causes an 'Unhandled kernel

> exception', using the display driver compiled by the 'source' makefile

> fine and doesn't reproduce this problem, what may cause the problem? what
> went wrong during the 'Source to DSP converter' conversion? what special
> configurations are required for a GDI driver?
> Should there be any specific entry point to a GDI_DRIVER?
