Having read a little on the topics and idea's you've mentioned it seem like I should:
store the file system recursion results in a generic list with all the values for each file
store the look up information in generic dictionaries, I'll need to use a few dictionaries it seems as the current FoxPro look ups contain about 5 items. I'll need 5 dictionaries that all share keys in order to tie them back together coherantly.

Yes, if you make your core object a class, then you'll be storing references, so it won't be expensive to build 5 dictionaries.

Gotcha ...
I know this may seem ridiculous to someone with your experience but bear with me! 
I'm assuming you mean creating a class that defines an object (the core object in the shape of a generic list of files) and all the dictionaries within that same object.
Honestly, I'm still a bit unsure what *exactly* an object is. I've used them, and made them but to say that I truly understand the limits of their application would be an overstatement in the extreme!!
I need an OOP for dummies book.

Correct
An object ( a class ) is really just a combination of properties and methods that work on those properties, that work together to define a single concept, such as a database record, a file entry, or whatever.

Sometimes I surprise myself!
Coming from a FoxPro background (ie: not true OOP as I understand it) I had a vague concept in my mind that you could draw a direct comparison to a computer programming based "Object" as something akin to an object in the real world. Every distinct "thing" in the real world is an object and each have properties (such as size, colour, smell etc ...). However, I guess through lack of reading, that the lines between my understanding of what exactly were/are the differences between a class and an Object were still fuzzy. Your brief clarification has been extremely helpful.
Also getting "into" something like .NET and C# at this stage is no mean feat. I'm still reeling in terms of learning just how BIG the .NET framework is.
Anyway, thank you for this great input. Lots of thinking to do!
Regards,
James.

I'm currently making a game (as always) and can't seem to make a Projectile class work right. Can someone just explain the concept of it. I really just don't understand how you get a sprite from the class. (?)

However you like. You either store an image ( or sequence of images ) statically in the class ( and an image index if you're using a sequence ), or whatever. Are you using DirectX ?

You mean a Screen Capture? Click the button on your keyboard that says PrtScn, or something that would mean Print Screen. Then open up your favorite image editing software and paste it in. MSPaint works well.

I mean doing it programaticaly (in code)

There are a number of articles on this site on screen capture, I know Nish has one.

Well what i am looking for, is the possibility to draw a form into image without displaying it...

Yes, the form class apears to have a 'DrawToBitmap' method that you could use.

Use the DrawToBitmap method of the form.

Hi,
I need a free obfuscator so no one can see my C# code.
any recommendations?
Thanks

If you've got Visual Studio Professional or above then you've got a Community Edition obfuscator in there.

I read it 5 times and I still don't understand what your problem is, or how you think we have enough information to try and help you. What have you done ? What is the code ? What is the error message ? Wat goes wrong ?
