FileSystemWatcher in VisualStudio 12 or VS Express 13 - can you please help?

[RalphCramden]

The documentation states that I can use a FileSystemWatcher to monitor for
changes in a network drive. My code sets the .Path property, then sets
EnableRaisingEvents = True and .IncludeSubdirectories = True. I have tried a
Path syntax of \\<server>\<folder>, and the FileSystemWatcher will not raise
events. If I map \\<server> to a local drive letter and use <drive_letter>:
\<folder>, the FileSystemWatcher still does not raise events. I have no problems
at all watching a truly-local path such as CL\Windows. Any suggestions would be
most welcomed! Thanks for caring...

Hi Ralph,
You've posted to a classic VB group (VB6 and earlier)!
