You can use the FileSystemWatcher class in C# to monitor a folder for new files. You will need to define the folder path you want to monitor and set up event handlers for the Created event, which is triggered when a new file is added to the folder. For example: using System; using System.IO; class FileMonitor { static void Main() { string folderPath = @"C:\YourFolderPath"; FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(); watcher.Path = folderPath; watcher.Created += OnFileCreated; watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true; Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit."); Console.ReadLine(); } private static void OnFileCreated(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e) { string fileName = e.Name; Console.WriteLine($"New file created: {fileName}"); // Call a method to send an email with the file name SendEmail(fileName); } private static void SendEmail(string fileName) { // Implement your email sending logic here } }

using System; using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Specify the folder path and the file name you want to check string folderPath = Server.MapPath("~/YourFolderPath"); string fileName = "YourFileName.txt"; string filePath = Path.Combine(folderPath, fileName); // Check if the file exists if (File.Exists(filePath)) { // Send an email SendEmail("recipient@example.com", "File Existence Alert", "The file exists in the folder."); } else { // Handle the case where the file doesn't exist } } private void SendEmail(string recipient, string subject, string body) { // Configure your SMTP client SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("your-smtp-server.com") { Port = 587, // Specify the SMTP server port (usually 587 for TLS) Credentials = new NetworkCredential("your-email@example.com", "your-password"), EnableSsl = true, // Use SSL for secure connection }; // Create the email message MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage("your-email@example.com", recipient) { Subject = subject, Body = body, IsBodyHtml = false, // Set to true if you want to send HTML emails }; try { // Send the email smtpClient.Send(mailMessage); Response.Write("Email sent successfully."); } catch (Exception ex) { // Handle any exceptions, e.g., log the error Response.Write("Email sending failed: " + ex.Message); } } }
