See MSDN docs for details, or let me know and I'll post some working code.   If its not a folder scan that you are looking for, I'd think of setting up a timer control to execute your getdata() method at a 'minimum justified' periodicity. I say minimum because you can easily bog the processor down with a very low timer interval (very frequent polling). Also make sure that the timer interval is far greater than the time it takes to execute getdata() or else you will beget other problems.   What location do you want to scan (folder, or some other datasource)?   - Chandra Chivukula [MVP]   View other groups in this category.
