Hi,

Please let me know the call to call Kernel mode DLLs from the drivers dynamically.
My Query: I want to call same function from different DLLS, since if these DLLs loaded statically we can't call the same function, but if we can load dynamically then we can call the function. 1st load the particular DLL and then call the function, But how to load DLLs dynamically in kernel?

I am not sure that you can load a DLL into kernel space, but I would be interested if someone can definitively answer this question. It may be better if you explain exactly what you are trying to do.

I got the solution:

Need to create the DLL as a export driver, export one function of the DLL to the driver and return the function pointers in that function call from the driver, which needs to call from the DLL.
I have experimented this and its working fine.

Actually I want to load plugin DLLs(MP3,g729 and different codec), since driver(application) can call any codec at run time with same interface functions having in all dlls, so its must that first it load particular dll and then call the function.
