My question is :
I started to write my first program in driver programming.
The program is about "Hello word"

I have installeed VS2010 and WDK to start .

But unfortunately I have a problem that appears when I was compiling my program.

Although this is an old question but the correct answer is to use the DDKBuild.cmd from OSR to build your driver with Visual Studio.

- The link is here "http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=43"

Here are the steps to use VS2010 and WDK to build driver.

1. Install VS
2. Install WDK
3. Setup the WDK environment - BASEDIR env variable
4. Create a Make project - create the SOURCES, DIRS and other driver required files.
5. Open the project property page, set the build command to use the DDKBuild.cmd (check the DDKBUILD for the command options)
6. Create a RELEASE build by repeat the step #5 with the "fre" build option.

Now you can use the build command from VS to build the driver. For detailed information, google "ddkbuild" for results.

Notes: the previous answer said you do not need VS to build driver which is correct; but using VS to build driver make your life easier if you want a nice editor to look at the code and other editings.
* A dude complained that this answer is the same as the 1st one. Obviously he did not read and understand what the 1st answer meant. My point: stop pointing people the Microsoft half-baked solution. Use the OSR batch file and save yourself some headaches.

You do not need Visual Studio to build drivers.
Drivers are usually built from the command line using the build utility which makes use of a sources file.
Read about the driver build environment here - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/buildenv.mspx[^]

Why are you telling him to do the complete opposite of what he wants?
