FileSystemWatcher

[Walidm]

Hi all,
I created a cshap application which monitors a shared folder over the network.
I've done this by just dropping a FileSystemWatcher component on a form and setting its properties and events.
Everything works fine, but sometimes my app stops monitoring without reporting any errors!

It seems to do this when the connection with the folder is lost temporarily.
(The same thing happens if you monitor a local folder on your C drive, if you delete the folder the application doesn't report any errors)
How can I add an Error event to detect the folder I'm watching is no longer there or the connection with it is lost?
Also, how do I force my application to restart monitoring once the connecting with the folder is
re-established?

Thanks for your help.

Would you mind to show snippets of your code? I guess more people will be able to help you...
