How to check a folder for new files?

Question

C++ / C#

I write data from a folder with files to the database (connected to the application through the Entity Framework). To do this, you need to periodically check whether a new file (or files) has appeared in the folder. Is it possible to do this without checking all the files in the folder? I can't think of a simple solution.

Answer 1

FileSystemWatcher class . Here is a great example of how to work with it.
