Monitoring a text file with C#

Question

I'd like to be able to 'monitor' a text file that gets constantly appended to by another application so that I can use the updated text from the text file in my C# application whenever it does get updated. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Try this code:

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

   pressed = true;

   label1.Text = "Key Pressed: " + e.KeyCode;

   timer1.Stop();

   timer1_Tick(timer1, EventArgs.Empty);

   timer1.Start();

}
