Using the code below I am able to monitor a single directory for a new file
and then kick-off a process to deal with the file. The question is??? How
would I modify this code to be able to monitor a couple of different
directories and based upon the directory where the new file is created
kick-off a process
Example:
File A in Directory B starts process C
File F in Directory X starts process Y
Thanks

// Define file filter
watcher.Filter = "*.*";// look for any new file
// Define event handlers

// Wait for the user to quit the program
