IOCTL_NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This IOCTL allows an application to retrieve the name and description of the adapter.

Parameters

• lpInBuffer
  [in] Points to an NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING structure plus extra bytes allocated for holding the name and description string. The BindingIndex member in the NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING structure should hold the adapter index number.

• nInBufferSize
  [in] Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpInBuffer. This should be the same size as the NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING structure.

• lpOutBuffer
  [out] Set to NULL or lpInBuffer.

  Note

  If lpOutBuffer is not specified, the application returns NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_DATA.

• nOutBufferSize
  [out] Total size of the buffer pointed to by lpInBuffer.

• lpBytesReturned
  [out] Total bytes used in lpInBuffer.

Remarks

An application can use this IOCTL to find out which miniport adapters NDISUIO has bound to. For example, an application can set BindingIndex = 0 and call IOCTL_NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING to retrieve the adapter name and description for BindingIndex = 0. The application can then increment the BindingIndex value and call IOCTL_NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING again. This process can continue until DeviceIoControl returns FALSE and GetLastError returns ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS.

This IOCTL can be used by an application even if the application is not associated with an NDISUIO file handle to a network adapter.
