Hi,

I am writing a program which includes a folder and file browser controls. While the program is running, the user can create or delete files at the folders shown at my program. I am wondering at which event i should refresh my controls to reflect this changes. Currently i do that on Form.Activate event, but it dosn't work as Windows Explorer for example, which refreshes when the change is made and not when activated.

I guess it is something essential. Thanks beforehand.

Call the control refresh code from within any event handler that could affect what is in that control. I.e.: If you have a "create new folder" event, after the folder is created you should call the "refresh folder list control" part of the code.

Actualy I meant that the user can make changes using another program, lets say Windows Explorer, while my program is running. Sory for making it clear at first. Actualy I found that such a monitoring on the File System can be made using FileSystemWatcher component. With this component this otherwise complicated task is simlified in .NET.

Thanks for replying. All the best.
