Writing Drivers for Device control

[ijalab]

Hello All,
I have been asked to write
Drivers for Clock generator, Drivers for parallel port utility, Drivers for power supply for test automation purpose.

Currently all the existing actions are performed through Visual Basic based GUI to perform testing. Can I add these additional controls in VB to handle these devices? If so, where shall I start with? Or should I use C to do these tasks? I am a beginner and so please help me with ur inputs!

Thanks,
Bala

Writing Windows device drivers is not a trivial task.
You can get tools to help you such as Jungo. You need the Windows ddk, this has a lot of sample drivers and the tools you need to build them.
Windows drivers are preferably written in c using the windows ddk compiler.
