Start by researching "C# FileSystemWatcher" here on CodeProject, and on Google.

As Bill suggested, there is a class dedicated to it: FileSystemWatcher[^].

Here is a collection of links to CP articels:
Advanced FileSystemWatcher[^]
FileSystemWatcher - Pure Chaos (Part 1 of 2)[^]
C#: Application to Watch a File or Directory using FileSystem Watcher[^]
Enhanced FileSystemWatcher[^]

More you'll find by using SearchBox on the right-top corner of this page.
