Getting file system object type with FileSystemWatcher

Mo
Hi,

I am watching a directory which has sub folders. in the
Filesystemchanged type Created I am trying to catch if the new object
is a file or a folder. How do I go about it? Also Is there a way to
get the subfolder of the file which was changed added or removed?

Thanks,
mo

Call File.GetAttributes() on the path and check for the
FileAttributes.Directory flag.

I don't know what that means. Files don't have subfolders.
