Hi, What is the best way for me to check for new files added to a directory, I dont think the filesystemwatcher would be suitable as this is not an always on service but a method that runs when my program starts up.

there are over 20,000 files in the folder structure I am monitoring, at present I am checking each file individually to see if the filepath is in my database table, however this is taking around ten minutes and I would like to speed it up is possible,

I can store the date the folder was last checked - is it easy to get all files with createddate > last checked date.

anyone got any Ideas?

Thanks

Mark
