Implementing a virtual file system in .NET

A while back a found a great-looking framework that allowed .net developers to implement a virtual file system. I thought I had bookmarked it, but it seems I haven't.

Does anyone know any frameworks for doing this?

EDIT: Here's a hint... It had a catchy, short name and it's own domain. Sorry, that's all I can remember :p

Could this have been it?

No it wasn't that, I'll take a look at that one anyway.

Maybe you are looking for one of these: boxedapp.com, eldos.com, scalingweb.com. On the wiki page for "virtual file system" are quite some more links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_file_system Why do you need it? Maybe a database, the regular file system or a ramdrive would be a better choice?

I need it to implement an online-drive thing.

You call "Dokan" catchy? :-)

It is pretty catchy, catchier than QVFS.

As far as I know there is no way to use it in a commercial project, it is under LGPL license. I would suggest using WebDAV server library (such as http://www.webdavsystem.com/server/) + built-in Windows/Mac OS X drive mounting functionality. Probably this is the fastest way to achieve the result.

LGPL can be used in a commercial closed-source project, don't confuse it with GPL.
