Need to be notified if files are changed - How to do this

[active]

I think I saw something once that made me think a program could get notified
if a file changes.

I'm not sure if the notification occurs if anything in the file system
changes or if it is more selective.

I've been searching the VS2005 doc but can't find anything.

In any event, is there a way my app could be notified if a particular or if
any file changes?


Thanks

The FileSystemWatcher in System.IO may be of use to you. Here's a
link to the class documentation at yon MSDN:

I played around with it a little and it appears to be just what I need.
I had seen a Window Api and hoped I wouldn't have to use that!

Thanks
