Duplicate Searcher
The aim of this Duplicate Searcher project is to produce a C# based application that will scan a file system or file repository for duplicate files using CRC
The different types of comparison will be:
File System with itself e.g. D:\data with D:\data
File System with an other file system e.g. C:\data with D:\data
File System with a file repository
The software will produce a list of duplicate files i.e. files with matching CRC and their locations in both source and destination.
The file repository will have a simple interface that will allow you to retrieve files. A sample set of classes to retrieve files is included below.
Deliverables
The following deliverables are required:
1. A C# Class Library to perform the comparisons listed above.
2. A command line program to drive the above library
3. A concrete implementation for the file repository so testing may be performed. For example, FTP may be used as a repository or even an other file system may be used. This only has to be good enough for testing.
4. Optional – A WPF or Windows Forms application to display the CRC matches.

public RepositoryReader(string repositoryIdentifier)
{
[login to view URL] = repositoryIdentifier;

}
public abstract class RepositoryItem
{
public abstract string id();
public abstract string location();

public abstract Stream getFile();
}

I have the same project presented when I was in college during my software engineering project subject using .net. I can help you out on this. I only have to convert my vb to c# which is very easy to do if your want me to do the project
