    <p>Haven't you already solved it? You could have an application such as a service or even a command line application that could poll/manually look into a specified folder, from there you would get the full file location and persist this into your database. When you need to search for the PDF you could perform a query against your database for PDF's that match your criteria.</p> <p>You could even strip the filename from the filepath and query on that rather than the filepath and store the filepath in a different column (providing you're using a relational database).</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>Based on your comment on the other answer, I would stick with SQL server. From what I understand you want to automatically "catologue" the PDFs dropped in that folder, you can do this by writing a simple <a href="http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/creating-a-simple-windows-service-in-csharp" rel="nofollow">windows service</a>. From that Windows service you can use an ORM (like Entity Framework) or ADO.net to persist your changes to your database. From the application you wish to display the result (be it Web app or a Win forms application, whatever), you can just query the correct column in your DB</p> <p>Resources:</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=entity%20framework%20tutorial&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CEwQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Flibrary%2Fbb386876.aspx&amp;ei=1AkqULiNLovgtQbvsICAAw&amp;usg=AFQjCNGHLeUe7NP3kCC_HraFqnEpeBBo2A" rel="nofollow">Entity Framework</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=querying%20in%20linq%20entity%20framework%20c%23&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CEwQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Flibrary%2Fbb386964.aspx&amp;ei=_gkqUOrmAdHGtAbl7oGwBQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNEluu1qy2AKy7mfHcDpqHUJgNq8hw" rel="nofollow">Linq to Entities</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
