How should a LV driver be?

I developed a MCU based DAQ and control system that communicates with PC via COM port. My client would like to have a driver for LabView. Since I am not familiar with LV system, but I can program in C, so I would like to ask if I can develop the driver as a dll, and if is there any special requirements that I should know?

The best drivers are written in LabVIEW itself, and as you have an interface for a comport, publish this interface and everybody can build a driver.

A normal LabVIEW driver utilises visa for comport access and the rest is sending out a command and interpreting the received data.
