Virtual disk explorer

The application was originally developed in Visual Studio 2005 using C# and .NET 2.0. The aim was:

• develop a reusable component that, using a file in the host OS for storage, emulates a virtual disk following the FAT32 file system standard,
• create a component able to visually explore the contents of both the host and the virtual disk, either as tree or list view, and
• use both components in a GUI to be able to interact with the virtual disk in a non-blocking manner:
  • drag&drop content between the host and virtual disk,
  • perform actions from any item's context menu,
  • peform file operations on either the host or virtual file system, e.g. open files, copy/cut/paste files,
  • issue commands in a custom command line,
  • monitor performance.
