Accessing Form Elements - From Static Event Messages

[seanjones]

I'm building a simple C# Win App to monitor some directories and then
kick of some processes - when files hit the system.

Right now everything works except that i have a listView control on a form
and when i click the button to tell the app to start monitoring.

I cannot get the "addItems() " method to update the Forms listView - it won't even compile.

Any Ideas

I have only been using C# for about 2 months on and off.

    private static void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            addItems(e.FullPath, "changed");
        }
 
        private static void OnCreated(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            addItems(e.FullPath, "created");
        }
 
        private static void OnRenamed(object source, RenamedEventArgs e)
        {
            addItems(e.FullPath, "renamed");
        }
 
        private static void OnDeleted(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            addItems(e.FullPath, "deleted");
        }
 
        private static void addItems(string fp, string info) {
            System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem lvi = new System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem(fp);
            System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem lvsi = new System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(lvi ,info );
            Console.WriteLine("File name triggering event {0}, action - {1}", fp, info);
           //lsvFiles.Items.add(lvi);
        }

Have you tried referencing the item that you are adding the items to? For example, listitem1.addIt em(e.FullPath, "changed"); I thought that it was additem not additems.

In C# its listView1.Items .add(listViewIt em) i.e. - //lsvFiles.Items. add(lvi);

when i uncomment that line - i get compile exception
