FileSystemWatcher example

Does anyone have an example of how to use this object

Basically, I want to check for changes in a directory automatically and if their are changes to it (ie FTP) then I want the system to auto upload to the database

But I need an example to get starte

Thank

Here's an example that fires an event whenever a file is added to the
specified folder.

// folder to watch
FileSystemWatcher theWatcher = new FileSystemWatcher(@"e:\WatchThisFolder");

// type of change to watch for
theWatcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName;

// delegate to handle the event
theWatcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(this.OnFolderChanged);

// begin watching
theWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

// delegate method to handle the Created event of the FSW
// just output the name of the file to the debugger
void OnFolderChanged(object o, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Name);
}
