FileSystemWatcher. Should i use this?

[ink]

Hi,

It has been recomended by someone i work with, NOT to use the
FileSystemWatcher class for watching for new import files in a directory as
it is a bit flaky.

Is this true, or can i trust that it will work.

i am using C# Framework v2.

Thanks.

It will work as long as you use it correctly.
