Solution 4

If you asking for an existing application created based on n-tier or SOA kind of architecture. No, its very tough and you will have to re-create lots of thing. Means lots of efforts

If you planning new project, consider MVC pattern (Not asp.net MVC). This will minimize the coding effort. Though this will have good amount of initial investment in coding/designing.

But if you say no effort at all. No that is simply not possible. At least as far as I know.

Hope that helps. If it does, do mark it as answer/upvote.

Thanks

Can you tell me what are all the common problem while doing so?

To comment anything further, can you please detail out the functionality of the application and architecture you have used ?

Refer Solution 5 In that there are a lot of functions like adding new folder, Deleting, Copying a file to another location and cut, paste and all of the basic file operations.

Does it have UI? If not why dont you create a class library ?

Rohith Gopi 16-Oct-12 7:21am

Of course it does.
The primary problem that i am facing is that, i am using a tree view with a context menu to display all the logical drives and directories in my local system. The tree view is inside update panel. When i add a new folder in the tree view it is adding it into the local system but the change is not getting reflected in the treeview immediately. I tried updating the update panel but no use, I had to refresh the whole page to see that folder in the tree view.
