File Inventory - A Hybrid Version Control System - CodeProject®

Introduction to Article

Occasionally, I need to know the files in a directory have been added or removed recently. For example, I want to know if an image file has been deleted or added in picture directory. It is similar to the functionalities of Version Control System without the cumbersome of setup, check-in, check-out and separate storage; something simple and easy to use. Window OS does not include such a tool and I can not find anywhere mentioned.
Arms with knowledge of nowadays programming technology and Google Search, it seems not too difficult to write one.
In this article, I will show how I:
  • Convert idea into design
  • Write an Inventory class to inventory files
  • Save persistent data to SQLite database
  • Call to a .bat which runs different sql scripts each time
  • Discuss some future enhancement and variety to design

How to Create ProgressBar Column in DataGridView - CodeProject

Introduction for the article
Before a couple of days I was working on program that allows users upload multiple files on a server. I realized it would be a nice to show progress of upload for every file individually. I tried to find way, how to solve this. After hours of “googling” I found some solutions, how to show progress bar in DataGridView object so I decided to create my own custom progress bar column. Articles I found, served as a guide for me and I have picked up same ideas, haw to customize DataGridView columns. I have implemented some functionality that I will describe later.

DCF File Extension - Open .DCF files

Well, I got my new Samsung Vibrant (More on that soon). I'm sure you have heard of the promise from Samsung and T-Mobile that the "Galaxy S" class phones have copies of "Avatar" preloaded. This is true. The thing that amazes me is that movie file is in a "*.dcf" format. Here is what DCF is!
