Looking for an 'Explorer' type application in VB.NET

I ned to develop a "Windows Explorer" type application where Users can add, delete, drag-and-drop, copy, paste, etc... files of all types. In my application I will have to look at each event, and update a database on some events

For example, if the User moves a file from one folder to another, I need to go back to a database and update a 'pointer' that says where the file is now located

Since this feels like 98% 'explorer' type function, with a little customization, I was hoping someone could point me to some example code where someone has developed an 'explorer' application before

Thanks in advance
