Hi all,

I am looking to make an open source Drive space viewer. One that displays
the sizes in a graph and lets you move through the directories via a
treeview at the left.

I have three questions i hope someone could help with:

    1. The problem I have is tallying up the directories and sub
directories. This is made even more complicated by the fact that I need to
allow the user to exclude certain sub directories when doing the
calculations. Does anyone know if there is a class in the framework that,
at
the very least, can tell me the size of a folder and its contents.

2. Does anyone have any code or suggestions about how I could handle the
problem of excluding various directories. The user needs to click a tick
box
in the treeview to have that dir included

3. Does anyone know of an open source application that I could look at for
this purpose

Thank you everyone

Simon
