File modification, how to notify IDE in .NET 2003 IDE programatically

nandibhatla

Hi,

I would like to know the following things related to Visual Studio
6.0 / 2003.

a. How does Visual Studio IDE come to know that a particular file has
been modified externally. How it keeps track of the files (ex. by
using some dirty flag)

b. Is there anyway we can notify the IDE that a file has been modified
externally ( which is open in the IDE currently)

Thanks,
Tejas

Don't know answer to Q2, but in reference to your 1st question, you can use
the FileSystemWatcher class to 'watch' files in a particular directory.
