很抱歉，Visual Basic中没有内置的inotify功能。您需要寻找一些第三方库或插件来实现这个功能。比如，您可以使用FileSystemWatcher类来监视文件或目录的变化。您可以通过使用该类的Changed、Created、Deleted和Renamed等事件来实现这个功能。示例代码如下：
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Changed(sender As Object, e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Changed
Console.WriteLine("File: " & e.FullPath & " has been modified")
End Sub
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Created(sender As Object, e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Created
Console.WriteLine("File: " & e.FullPath & " has been created")
End Sub
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Deleted(sender As Object, e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Deleted
Console.WriteLine("File: " & e.FullPath & " has been deleted")
End Sub
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Renamed(sender As Object, e As System.IO.RenamedEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Renamed
Console.WriteLine("File: " & e.OldFullPath & " has been renamed to " & e.FullPath)
End Sub
当您运行该代码后，在监视的文件或目录发生变化时，就会在控制台输出相应的消息。
如果您仍然希望使用inotify，您可以考虑使用Linux或者Mac OS上的Mono开发环境，并使用Mono.Inotify库来实现该功能。
