I have DVD Movie Retail Shop, In addition to my work in a company as IT Manager. The biggest problem in having such shop is the customer who came and ask for specific movie by Category, Last Release, etc...
I have contacted IMDB team in roder they give me access to there movie library in order to use them in my program so I can manage my movie collection and the ability to search according to the customer creteria. IMDB Reply was they want 25,000$ / Month. ( I wonder how/what software or project or business that can make more than 25,000$ / Month while using the IMDB). Mean they are saying GO AWAY nicely.
So I decide to make my own project for getting movies information automatically from the internet. Where all you have to do is write down the movie name, and the imdb.dll will do the rest.
imdb.dll is part of my Project (Multimedia Club Manager) which can be installed from www.cdcity.org in the download section.
If you like the dll and you want to purchase it, and prevent the MessageBox from appearing, send email to sales@cdcity.org
Download imdb.dll v1.0.28
If you have any question regarding imdb.dll or Multimedia Club Manager, Please Visit

Since this is my first weblog on this site, I decide that my first weblog will be a Foxite Copy/Paste for a cool Thread I found on this site, and I intend to make Foxite Copy/Paste always updated by such Thread.
I had talked to Mr. Ken and he (very Thankfully) advise me that I create my own article depending on information I found in this site in addition to my research, in order that I got the maximum understanding and increase my knowledge, Although Ken intention was for the good for my general knowledge, but I will not wait 10 years to create article my self ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif)
I had found it difficult to make research for a subject that you are not working in and my idea was to show Foxite as a Website for good resources for other developer.
I want to say thanks for Mr. Ken Murphy for his wonderfull touch in this site, and For Eric for this wonderfull site with this wonderfull people.
1- Why ODBC and Not OLEDB?
