    Thread

    (VB.NET newbie)
    I need some help in writing a small application which continuosly searches for a file in a list of folders eg
    C:\FS\101
    \102
    \103
    ...
    ...

    When a file is found then the application should begin processing the file. And another version of the program should begin i.e. which continues searching.
    So a scenario could occur that 3 files are found then 3 processes which deal with the file should run simultaneously and another to continue searching. etc
    I think is is todo with MultiThreading but i am not sure where to start in vb.net.
    Many Thanks

      You could do it with threading, but then you'd be eating CPU from all the
      active searching.

      I think what will be a lot easier is to have your application create a
      System.IO.FileS ystemWatcher for each folder you want to monitor. Then you
      just configure the properties and write an event handler.
