Adding a New Search Condition to FileSharper
Adding a new search condition to FileSharper is relatively simple. It typically only requires you to add two classes: one implementing ICondition and one with public properties for any parameters used by the condition. It's not necessary to add anything manually to the user interface; FileSharper uses reflection to build a user interface at runtime for any conditions it finds in the FileSharperCore assembly.
This tutorial will walk through the process of adding a "File Date" condition from scratch. (This condition already exists in the repository but will be recreated for purposes of explanation.)
If you don't already have the FileSharper source, download or clone it from https://github.com/adv12/FileSharper. If you downloaded a zip, unzip it. Open the src/FileSharper directory and double-click FileSharper.sln to open it in Visual Studio. Solution Explorer should look something like this:
FileSharper should be set as the startup project. The business logic is all in FileSharperCore. Expand FileSharperCore:
