I am trying to have my software run a command line instruction whenever a certain type of file is added to a given folder. So far I have the ability for a user to select the folder, and the path is saved to a string. I am just wondering if there is some kind of event that could be called when a change is made to that folder? (c#)

I think what I was looking for is called 'File System Watcher' and a guide can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lVormV8cb8
