I have a very similar windows service that does exactly what you are describing.

VB
 ' Create a new FileSystemWatcher and set its properties.
       Dim watcher As New FileSystemWatcher()

       watcher.Path = gsWatcherPath

       ' Watch for changes in LastAccess and LastWrite times, and
       ' the renaming of files or directories.
       watcher.NotifyFilter = (NotifyFilters.LastAccess Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite Or NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.DirectoryName)
       ' Only watch text files.
       watcher.Filter = "*.txt"

       ' Add event handlers.
       AddHandler watcher.Created, AddressOf OnChanged

       ' Begin watching.
       watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True


Private Sub OnChanged(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs)

       Call ProcessFile_Master(e.FullPath)

   End Sub


Once you instantiate the FileSystemWatcher, there is nothing else to do, no loops, nothing extra.

The Sub, OnChanged, gets fired for each file that is changed in the "watched" directory.

Hope this helps.
