I need to write an application in C# and VS2010 that can listen to the download event from Internet Explorer and capture the file URL to add it to a certain database.

My only problem is on how to implement an interface that actually captures that event.

What would I need in order to build or implement such functionality?

Looking for functionality as the “Free download manager or FDM software”, each time you start a download on Internet Explorer, a “FDM” window pops up containing the URL of the download.
