You people shame me. I keep my clothes on exposed racks, with an electronic gizmo to chase the bugs away.

Hmmm , there are 2 types of bugs, alive and not so alive... If you are talking about Windows as your guardian you can chase the alive ones only

Are you sure it wasn't you that, in a sneaky manner, just convinced your wife that you need all these powertools. 
Because, really, if you need to ask the question you should go back to the shop and buy a flatpack.
But to answer your question: you need wood, I agree with Harold in this matter.
But also a proper drill, wood dowels, wood glue, clamps, a plane, a resaw, a router... but not the least, a design
Oh, and do have a look for Steve Ramsey on Youtube.

Actually, I need a pocket hole jig and the rest will be precut boards. Simples.

Have you considered buying an old one of approximately the right size from a second hand or antique store (aka junk store), sanding it off and giving it a once over with Polyurethane varnish?

Yes, nothing that suits has been found. One restriction is that it will need [eventually] sliding doors as there's no room for doors to open.

Just make sure you build it in the back yard and it's one inch bigger than all the doors of your house.

MDF looks like shyte. Mainly because it is shyte.
It's fine for things that have to be flat, and that you won't see, but for "visible" surfaces you have to paint it. Real wood generally looks better, and is easier to "blend in" to existing furniture.
But one thing to remember with real wood: it expands and contracts with changes in humidity - and if you don't allow for that it can crack itself apart. MDF and plywood don't do that because they don't have a grain to expand.
You can get some finish quality plywood which can make the main "box" easier to build, then just use real wood for the front (the outer layer is high quality veneer rather than the "any old c@rp" the cheap stuff uses.

I've looked and pine is about £120 vs MDF at £90. I shall recommend to Mrs Wife that I buy the former as it'll look betterer. I am still umming about the doors though, they should be sliding as there's only a little room, but I want to make it look kewel.

What you are looking for I bypass doors, they come in many sizes.

Yeah, but implementing I Bypass is a chore; the doors would have to be COM/ATL simple objects, and while you could fit any number of doors you would only be able to build one, globally unique, wardrobe.

I've use Hrdwood Plywood[^] like this for furniture and had very good luck, fairly easy to work, looks great when painted or stained. The only other thing you will need is some hardwood strips to hide the edges that show.

Take the easy way; clear out a room, hang some clothing lines wall-to-wall, call it a walk-in-wardrobe.

Pine wood is cheap and good, it can be easily stained to get any desired effect (Mahogany, for example) and withstand pretty well, I've made some furniture with it and I like it.

What I discovered after completing my wardrobe (in solid wood) was that the doors felt flimsy.
It was trivial to create the rest of the wardrobe as a sturdy 5 sided box; all those orthogonal intersecting edges create great rigidity.
It's doors I also made that let me down. They need to look and feel robust. Remember those old sitcoms where slamming a door would make the whole set shake?!
So, whatever thickness you make the box out of, I suggest adding an extra 0.5" (12.5 mm) to the thickness of the doors.

SVN and the apache server stopped talking again.
I fixed this 8 months ago, but I'm in another city now, and I forgot what I did, and I'm going to have to talk them through it.
It was one weird setting in some config file; I think. My brain isn't good enough to keep that level of detail for that time.
Is there a group here on CodeProject for this topic ?

My position now requires me to make spreadsheets.
For whatever reason they have, they want to see the results of my tests in a spreadsheet.
I have about 4 or 5 dozen spreadsheets to create, with similarities and differences among each one.
Do we have a group here on CodeProject that is focused on Spreadsheets ?

No, we all just ask our resident Excel expert[^].
