Folks, I'm looking for advice on implementing DeviceIoControl for vnetbios. It's pretty simple, lpvInBuffer is a pointer to an NCB, the only parameter to Netbios().
Trouble is, I implemented Netbios() with some state, all maintained in netapi32.dll. I need to load netapi32.dll, and keep it open as long as the handle to vnetbios is open (if I close netapi32, the state is lost).
I could:
- use a static HANDLE to netapi32.dll in kernel
Yes. Other DLLs do it this way.
- store the handle in the server
No. The server has no concept of a DLL and shouldn't need to.
- move all the netbios code to kernel, and use
DeviceIoControl to call it from netapi32
No. You should keep all of the code in netapi32. There is no need for it to be in kernel32.
