Board index » Visual Studio » outportb available?!?!?

Visual Studio83
Hi there,



I would like to create a .dll from legacy code. It includes the inportb and

outportb commands. Are inportb and outportb available in any version that

can create a dll??



Thanks very much,



Russ

They're illegal operations from user-mode code on all NT-based versions of

Windows. Access to I/O ports is intended to be restricted to kernel-mode

DLLs. If you look around on the 'net, you can find solutions to allow

user-mode access to I/O ports.



You might want to check out the resources/articles on www.lvr.com.

Have you looked for a Windows driver for your hardware?

Thanks very much for your help. I found a Device driver for windows xp which

allows the inportb/outportb functions (gives the user higher priviledges to

the I/O ports) at www.beyondlogic.org/porttalk/porttalk.htm">www.beyondlogic.org/porttalk/porttalk.htm
