Trying to get back on track with sandbox work at home.

I’m taking another run at the tool for archive management and de-duplication processing that has been on the plate for some time. This tool wants to read files, determine uniqueness of files (based on content) and maintain an index (likely in MongoDB) of files that have been scanned and are expected to exist. I’m writing things in C# mostly. The current user interface approach involves WPF but may also make use of ASP.NET (probably core) at some point. Looking to solve a problem and play with some coding tools on this front.

I’ve got better versions of my interop C++/CLI code to provide access to Win32 volume and file information functions in place and tested. I have not yet pushed these up to github as they’re still just free-standing code without anything to actively run them.

I’m expecting to put in place some more helper code shortly and then build out a simple WPF interface to run things. I also want/need to build a more capable MongoDB back end to hold file scan results as part of the process,
