At last! A simple, sensible way to do most of the task of building Windows device drivers using the integrated development environment of Microsoft's Visual Studio:
http://www.hollistech.com/Resources/ddkbuild/ddkbuild.htm The first, and main, advantage is the ability to click on build errors and be taken to the offending line in the source. This is an enormous improvement over scrolling through a DOS box to find the build error, noting the file and line number, switching back to the editor, and finding the bad line in the right file.
