(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've been working on this for a long time. Would like some feedback.

I'm open to suggestions, or criticism.

It is a movie collection program. Where you can save your movie list, which saves you time from having to look though folders and such.

It can grab info from the internet (Release date, overview, movie cover). You can also choose not to download the movie cover.

Or you can enter movies manually. It does have the ability to edit, and remove movies. You can also, remove all your movies at one time. When you remove a movie it does delete the movie cover if you have one for it. The covers are stored on your computer if you choose to have them. They are put into your documents. You can also, choose to remove the movie cover of any movie you have saved.

It does have a Help window, to help explain how to use the program.

There is "No" database. All information is saved on a XML file.

Please leave some feedback. Please don't ask if I'm giving the program away. As of right now. I have not fully decided, but I'm leaning toward charging for the program (due the the amount of time I have in it).

Now the screenies.

Question 1
What is it written in?

Question 2
So it can get new movies details online?

Question 3
Is it a stand alone program? If not I would add the .xml file to resources


AND ALSO

I think you should add it so when you click edit, you can change the title and info of the movie etc.

It is wrote in C#.

Yup, it pulls movie info from online. The API it gets it from is updated all the time.

It is a complete program. It creates the xml file for you. Deletes it if you clear the list. Creates the Movie Cover folder in your documents for you, etc.

When you click a movie in the list. The info is put in the edit area. You are able to edit the title name, year, type and info.

Interesting. I personally think c# is useless (my opinion though). I like the idea of how it updates automatically.

BTW what I mean about the edit thing is that everything is labels, then changed to text boxes etc.

I have added where you can grab info from online when editing. also a hugh step

You can now Scan a folder. It list all the movies in that directory. And YOu can add them all to the list at one time. So if your like me and have 500+ movies in one folder. You can add them to the list at one time.

The only thing is you will have to go back and edit their information if you want it all correct. but thiis saves tons of typing.

As the question. I'm actually grabbing from another source, but it is the same as imbd. Just a different API.



Just a list. It don't download anything. Just a list of what movies you have(well what movies you choose to enter).


looks cool, but have u seen this before?
