WaitForChanges Method

This method waits for changes to a folder for a specified period of time.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Function WaitForChanges(ByVal Timeout As Integer) As Boolean

[C#]
public bool WaitForChanges(int timeout);

Remarks

This method waits for changes to be made to a folder for Timeout seconds.

This method returns True if changes were made and False if no changes were made. The method may return before Timeout expires if a change is made.

Valid values for Timeout are between 30 and 480.

Note: Dropbox may add up to 90 seconds of jitter to the connection, as a result the Timeout parameter may not strictly define the time to wait.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (WaitForChangesAsync) for use in the WinRT environment.
