Monitor the windows file system for file additions, deletes, modif

giannik

Is there any way to create an app in vb.net where i can specify a folder in
the windows os (windows 2000 and above) so that when files are added ,
deleted or modified then an event can be raised so I can perform some
specific action? (for instance display a message box or log the entry to a
log file)
