I am looking for a source code that uses FileSystemWatcher
in Visual c++ 6.0.
All the examples I found (in Microsoft MSDN and Codeproject and others) where
either in C# or in C++7.0
and I don't know how to translate it to VC++ 6.0

Now, after I read the details, I see that it is not good enough because of two reasons.
1. It only shows the changes after one hour.
2. It does not show what user changed them.
The good thing about FileSystemWatcher is that I get the notification in real time and I can now who made the change, or even more important who copied a file (to a disk-on-key).
1. Why do you say that:
Consuming a managed class like FileSystemWatcher from vc6 is not a good idea.
2. Is there a way that I can download a free C7 compiler (like a shrink version)?

Consuming a managed class like FileSystemWatcher from vc6 is not a good idea. Better you work with FindFirstChangeNotificatio n and other related WinAPI functions, which indeed are called from FileSystemWatcher. /KB/files/ FileSpyArt icle.aspx
