Introduction

Track all your files, locally, on CD-ROMs, and on removables. Then take these tiny catalogs with you, along with 'Catalog Now'!

Using the program

The main goal is the serialization of the following classes:

  [Serializable()]
  public class DirectoryCollection: SortedList
  {
    public DirectoryCollection() : base() {}
    public DirectoryCollection(IDictionary c) : base(c) {}
  }

  [Serializable()]
  public class FilesCollection: SortedList
  {
    public FilesCollection() : base() {}
    public FilesCollection(IDictionary c) : base(c) {}
  }

  [Serializable()]
  public class DirectoryItem
  {
    public DirectoryCollection subdir;
    public FilesCollection files;
    public string Name;
    public string Comment;
    public bool isCompressed = false;
    public DirectoryItem(string name)
    {
      Name = name;
      files = new FilesCollection();
      subdir = new DirectoryCollection();
    }
    public DirectoryItem(string name, bool iscompressed)
    {
      Name = name;
      isCompressed = iscompressed;
      files = new FilesCollection();
      subdir = new DirectoryCollection();
    }
  }

  [Serializable()]
  public class FileItem
  {
    public string Name;
    public long Size;
    public DateTime Date;
    public string Comment;
    public FileItem(string name, long size, DateTime date)
    {
      Name = name;
      Size = size;
      Date = date;
    }
    public FileItem(string name, long size, DateTime date, string comment)
    {
      Name = name;
      Size = size;
      Date = date;
      Comment = comment;
    }
  }

  [Serializable()]
  public class CatalogVersion
  {
    public string Version = "1.0";
  }

  [Serializable()]
  public class CatalogHeader
  {
    public string VolumeName;
    public string VolumeSerialNumber;
    public uint DriveType;
    public ulong Size;
    public ulong FreeSpace;
    public DateTime DateofScan;
  }
