I'm just going to whip something up in C#. It will have an opening screen where you can see the list, add/remove/modify an item, import/export a list, and print it to a .txt file. When it's printed to a .txt file it will automatically format it for this forum. If anyone wants to stick it on another forum I should be able to modify the output pretty easily.
Any suggestions about this?
Sure? You can snip the size of your data by using something like
(string) Name
(string) Source
(int) Type
(int) Price
(int) Rating
(string) Description
(string) User NotesUsing flags to handle type/subtype for easy searching.
Weapon = 0x1,
MeleeWeaponOnly = 0x2,
RangedWeaponOnly = 0x4,
AmmoOnly = 0x8,
Armor = 0x10,
ShieldOnly = 0x20,
SpecialMaterial = 0x100,
Template 0x200,
Crystal = 0x400,
Quality = 0x800,And a single integer for the price rather than using two.

Not everyone trusts their antivirus to pick up things (I sure the hell don't). Though I can't but think your C# desires are based off recently learning it.
In fact, hit my sig up for WoTC_Links. Not only did I create my own version of a link post that sits in my documents bookmarked, but I got it hosted online for free (well they did throw some advertisements somewhere on the page, idk where since firefox hides them). All it is really is 100+ links hide in "spoiler" blocks using a simplistic javascript based method rather than say multiple pages interlinked. Using CSS, which can again be coded within the same single file, you can set the display up to various colums, mouseover highlighting and display, w/e. It would take 1/10th the time to handle the display vs trying to code a GUI. There is no editor mode to code, there is no save/load methods to write, you don't even know an exporter since you can post it here and any of the million hits for free web host. Adding new entries would be as simple as copy/paste into what is a commonly taught programming language in public schools (and even if you now nothing, it's still as simple as look for comment, paste text, add a <br> tag or two, take a nap).
