FileSystemWatcher static functions

hello there,
I have run into a problem, i have set up a FileSystemWatcher to monitor if a file is deleted. All is good up to there. But because the handlers for the event have to be static functions i am unable to make function calls which belong to my class from with in the handler , any suggestions to get around this?

This is not C++.
Incidentally, I suppose this should be posted in Tech Board.

Or to the C# board.

Show some code. It's not obvious why the handlers for the event "have to be" static functions.

In C++ there is no other way than having static versions of those functions. The first parameter should hold a reference to your filesystemwatcher object so you can have a static lookup table to connect the filesystem watcher object to another class or subclass the watcher class so you can call one of it's new methods.

Please note that those difficulties are due to your use of C++/CLI. If you need .NET use a native .NET Language like C# and you won't have those problems.
