Introduction

Welcome to CBFS Connect, an all-in-one solution for creating and managing virtual filesystems in Windows applications. CBFS Connect's robust and performant event-driven API can help you expose any data source as a fully featured Windows filesystem, including database records, remote files, dynamically generated content, or something else entirely. Without writing a single line of driver code, you will be able to present your data as "just another drive full of files and folders." This solution makes it easy for users to view and interact with the filesystem and also gives other applications the ability to access and manipulate it via standard file APIs.

Included Libraries

The .NET Edition includes libraries (.dll files) which are supported in different environments. The following libraries are present in the lib directory after installation:

  • lib\net40\callback.CBFSConnect.dll is designed for use in .NET Framework 4.0 and up. This library maintains a familiar API in line with previous versions of the product.

  • lib\net6.0\callback.CBFSConnect.dll is designed for use in .NET 6 and up. The .NET 6 library maintains the same API as the .NET Framework version of the library and can be used in projects that are based on .NET 6 and later.

  • lib\netstandard2.0\callback.CBFSConnect.dll is designed for use in .NET Standard 2.0 and up. The .NET Standard library maintains the same API as the .NET Framework version of the library and can be used in projects that are based on .NET Core and .NET 5 and later.
