Chapter 3. WDF Fundamentals
The WDF driver model defines an object-oriented, event-driven environment for both kernel-mode (KMDF) and user-mode (UMDF) drivers. Driver code manages device-specific features, and a Microsoft-supplied framework calls the WDF driver to respond to events that affect the operation of its device.
This chapter introduces fundamental concepts for the design and implementation of WDF for UMDF and KMDF drivers.
