Virtual Serial Port

[chandu]

Hai All,

I am developing a Access Network control application in
which I need to integrate the operation of two independent
applications accessing a serial port into single
application.

There are two parts in this Integrated APP:

1) An application from 3rd party vendor which controls his
own portion of the network.

2) My application which controls entire network except the
other vendors equipment.

I need to now use a single serial port for both
applications. So I have to create a device driver which
emulates more than two serial ports with standrad device
names such as COM1,COM2,..etc and handle all reads and
writes to that ports and redirect them throgh the actual
single physical port.

Any Ideas to do this or any sample applications that I can
refer to?

If needed, I would like to use my microsoft support option
to assist me through e-mail through out this development.

Thanking you.

Chandu

Chandu,

You should probably have this discussion in Microsoft.Public.Development.Device.Drivers. This is where most of the DDK
folks are, including Microsofts DDK specialists.

Where can I find Microsoft.Public.Development.Device.Drivers? The same
place as I find microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel (i.e. this news
group)? I'm a bit puzzled as it's not in the list that I can subscribe
to (which I understand is kept up to date automatically and regularly).

Thanks.

I understand the confusion, it took us a minute to see it too. At the same
level as the Win32 in your news tree, there should be the "Development"
node and under that "device". Inside "device" there is a "drivers" node.

As a side note: Microsoft.Public.DDK has been depricated as it was too OS
specific. Please refer all device driver and kernel mode development to
Microsoft.Public.Development.Device.Drivers. Questions about kernel
objects from user mode (application development, not driver development)
should be in this forum.

Thanks,
