From Annie: I got the database programs we were trying to make in C# class to work by downloading and installing the Microsoft Access 2010 Database Engine and 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components programs at the following links: (Access 2010 Engine) (2007 Connectivity Components) If you have trouble getting the download buttons to lead to a file save prompt, turning off JavaScript temporarily should do the trick.

WinUSB API challenge

During the Summer 2015 semester I discussed a fun application challenge:
- Task 1: Create a USB sync application that will automatically sync your thumb drive to a folder on your home computer.
- Task 2: In order to make this an automatic process, you will need to implement a service that will detect when a source thumb drive is plugged in.
- Justification 1: Prevent the problem of losing all of your work when you loose your thumb drive.
- Justification 2: Improve the submission of H/W to my thumb drive.


Hint: Here is an xcopy cmd line example that will copy all new and modified files.
xcopy "$driveLetter$\SourceDir" "$driveLetter$\\TargetDir" /D /E /Y
