Question to all the experienced C# programmers...
I am very new to C# with no real experience in C# or any other programing language. After doing some research I decided to go with C#.
I do have a project on hand that I would like to use C# with to gain experience.
My wife works as an IT Helpdesk person and she stores all of her standard e-mail replies in Notepad txt file. She also uses Word to store the countless IT procedure documentation. Needless to say that even though she is faster now looking through her txt and Word doc's (which is faster then the system provided by the company she works for) she still isn't really happy with it.
My thoughts were to create a (simple?!) program where she can enter, edit, create, search and organize all the data she needs for her day to day work. I am thinking of a simple window app with a split container, the left panel holding a hierarchical tree view (which my wife REALLY loves!) to organize the tons of different documentation and the right to display the content.
Now my question is can I use an Access .mdb file to store content as well as the Nodes structure of the tree hierarchy? I think it is possible but as I mentioned I am a beginner in this area and I don't want to proceed without knowing if it makes any sense to do so. Eventually I need some kind of storage area as there is no database server available. She can't install any software either. So this solution has to run only on the .NET framework and has to be independent from any other software package.
Thank all of you in advance for any advice you can give me!
