FileSystemWatcher (in CLR) uses the win32 api functions FindFirstChangeNotification and FindNextChangeNotification http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364417.aspx along with a wait function to get notifications of changes. to retrieve information about the changes, you coud use ReadDirectoryChangesW http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...65(VS.85).aspx
