Hi, had a question about event hooks. I don't know that much about it
so please forgive me if I don't use all the right words. Is it
possible to use a hook that listens or watches a certain
directory/folder and when a new file is put into that directory take
some action.
I have a third party tool. It puts its log files in a directory on the
computer (XP Professional). I need some functionality the third party
does not provide. I can do this by reading the log files. The program
puts a new log file in for each transaction it completes, so what I
thought I could do is read the directory when a new file is put in the
directory and do whatever.
The only other thing I could think of was to use the task scheduler and
have my c# program do what I needed minus the event hook. It just
wouldn't be real time.
Thank you for any help or advice.
