    I have a RadTreeView that has nodes listing directories and files from a certain location in the file system. Now if I were to go into Windows Explorer and manipulate one of the files, how can I update the RadTreeView automicatically to the user's action? Say if I were to delete the file, how can I refresh the RadTreeView to show that once they do it from Windows Explorer? Is there a way?

    Hi Nicholas,

    Yes, you can use the FileSystemWatcher class to monitor such changes. Detailed information is available here: FileSystemWatcher.

    I hope this will be useful.
