Moved to developer discussion

CreateFile ,ReadFile ,WriteFile are all file system functions, are you asking about the object store, fatfs, atadrv etc?

no, example: to call DeviceIoControl to talk to a driver, you first call CreateFileW to specify which driver you want (by getting a file handle to it). not just filesystem stuff. yes, i found it funny too.

createfile: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa914735.aspx


other than that, i guess msdn and/or google. nice link about device drivers in ce3: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834379.aspx
