FileSystemWatcher moved files -- dotnet framework

How do I detect if a file is copied or moved into a folder?

I have a watcher set on the folder with NotifyFilters.LastWrite
and a delegate on the Changed event.

It works if I save a file in the folder but not if I copy, move or paste it
there.

Perhaps the "renamed" event will let you know when the entire path of a file
has changed? Try the code

and see if a FileSystemWatcher event fires when you move a file.
