Network Share Notifier

January 15, 2010 17:52 by Garrett Hoofman

So I got a little bored tonight and wanted to make a program. Now a little background, my roommate is constantly downloading new videos, books, and other programs to the point that I’ve always wanted an RSS feed of his folders. So, I went ahead and created a simple RSS feed with ASP.net to do this. Then I took it a step further.

I created an application for Windows that scans any network share that you want, grabs the file information in descending order of earliest creation time on the file. The program will then pop up a notification every time a new file is added to the network share (scans at a designated interval). You can then open the file from the program or leave it until later.

So, with out further ado here is my Network Share Notifier : [Download]
