Checking files in a directory

[AtariJag64]

I'm trying to monitor a directory to ensure that all of the files are there.

The files are being processed by another program, so I need to verify that all 4 files are present before moving on.

Does anyone know a way to do this?

I've tried to install a File System Watcher, but I didn't find a method to look for specific files.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

If you're looking for the existence of specific files, not for changes in the file system, then the FileSystemWatcher is the wrong piece to use.

I don't have my work system with me, but I believe you want to check in System.IO under the Directory object for the GetFiles method, and look through that collection to see if the files of interest exist. I think there's also a File object with an Exists method.
