VisualDDK is an extension to Visual Studio 2005/2008, that allows developing and debugging drivers directly from Visual Studio IDE. It includes Driver Wizard, debugger plugin for Visual Studio and Driver Launcher. Additionally it allows executing all WinDbg commands via a console window integrated into Visual Studio.If you are using VMWare or VirtualBox, you can speed up kernel debugging more than 60x by using VirtualKD extension instead of slow virtual COM port.
Features:
* Allows developing, building and debugging drivers directly from Visual Studio.
* Contains a Driver Wizard allowing to create new driver projects or import existing code.
* Provides a Launcher allowing to copy and start your drivers on a remote machine directly from VS.
* Loads kernel symbols much faster than WinDbg.
* Resolves symbols by names (or indicates an error) much faster than WinDbg by using hash tables and DIA interface.
* Visualizes NT types in a convenient way (see Expression Visualizer and VisualDDKHelpers pages).
* Based on WinDbg debugging engine, thus, supports all connection types, protocols, settings and console commands, supported by WinDbg.
