I am looking to be pointed in the right direction.<br />
We need to monitor a folder on our server and when there is a new pdf file put into that folder we need to pull the file name as a string and compare that to another string.<br />
I need to know how to have a dll monitor the folder and pull the file name out of the folder?<br />
<br />
More info. The client will pass a string to the dll, the dll will watch the folder for 60 seconds, and if in 60 secods there is a change in the folder it will pull the name of the file put into the folder?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

How to monitor a folder for change in vb6.0

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
