VisualDDK - Version 1.2 VisualDDK is an extension to Visual Studio 2005/2008, that allows developing and debugging drivers directly from Visual Studio IDE. It includes Driver Wizard, debugger plugin for Visual Studio and Driver Launcher. Additionally it allows executing all WinDbg commands via a console window integrated into Visual Studio. If you are using VMWare or VirtualBox, you can speed up kernel debugging more than 60x by using VirtualKD extension instead of slow virtual COM port.
