Files system events - .NET Framework

Buddy Ackerman

Windows Explorer windows can update autmatically when a a file is deleted
from another application, I want to be able to respond to similar events.
What file system events are there and how do I respond to them in .NET?

Hi, I know the answer only on Win32 programming, try using
ReadDirectoryChangesW (see documentation on MSDN).
Hope this help.

Andrea

Take a look at FindFirstChangeNotification.

I don't thinks so. It might be limited to the current desktop but the
documentation doesn't say.
