I know it is possible to use a listener on a directory so
that if there is any change I can catch it and update my
application accordingly.
Anybody know or have a code example as for how to do this?

Thanks,

Haim.

Sounds like a job for FileSystemWatcher. Check the documentation which also
contains examples:

Hi

Use FileSystemWatcher class. This monitors the file system and react when
the directories or files it contain got changed.
