WinDDK API: UsbBuildGetDescriptorRequest() fails to compile

[Sanjay234]

I am trying to compile this code and it is failing with the following errors.

#include <windows.h>
#include <Usb.h>
#include <Usbdlib.h>

int main()
{
USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR dd;
URB urb;
UsbBuildGetDescriptorRequest(&urb,
sizeof(_URB_CONTROL_DESCRIPTOR_REQUEST),
USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE, 0, 0, &dd, NULL,
sizeof(dd), NULL);
return 0;
}

The file it is showing as errors is part of the WinDDK. May I know what I have to do build the above code successfully.

Thanks in advance.
