Hi,
I am a newbie to the pocketPC environment and new to driver
development. I want to write a file system driver for windows CE
devices. I got some help from msdn, saying how to write File system
driver. But i am not sure how to start with it. Using the help from
msdn all i did was,

1) created a dll with only few functions in it. I just wanted to test
my thing first.
2) Then downloaded my dll into the 'windows' folder.
3) Set the 'HKLM\System\Storagemanage\AutoLoad' registry key to my dll
name.

Then reset my device. But can't find anything. Like i wanted a
messagebox to be popped, when a file i created in the device. But
nothing happened and the file was created successfully. When i went to
'filesys.exe' application in process viewer, i found that my dll was
loaded, but then why isn't it poppping the message box.

Bear with me if i'am dumb to the core. But this is all i got up in my
heads.

I'll be happy if somebody can help me out or atleast show me the
correct direction...

Since you can't write true drivers in managed code, you're in the wrong
group. I'd suggest microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded or
microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder.

I'am sorry that I haven't mentioned that i am using Embedded visual C++
4.0 for my development and coding is purely in 'C'. So if i am not
wrong the coding using this tool doesn't falls under managed code. But
any way thanks for a reply. Will try the groups you suggested.

Regards,
