listen for file download then process that file?

[ian.johns]

How would I have a vb.net app running on a client listen for a
particular file download (via it's extension) then execute an old DOS
..exe that processes that type of file?

I found this site which shows how to listen for file creation in a
folder:

Ian,

You found the file watcher this is a code sample how to start an executable.

\\\Notepad
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo
pi.arguments = "c:\windows\win.ini"
pi.FileName = "notepad.exe"
p.startinfo = pi
p.Start()
\\\

I hope this helps,

Cor
