Studio. In this integrated environment, most of the tools you
need for coding, building, packaging, testing, debugging, and
deploying a driver are available in the Visual Studio user
interface. Typically kernel-mode debugging requires two
computers. The debugger runs on the host computer and the code
being debugged runs on the target computer. With the the Windows
debugger integrated into Visual Studio, you can per
