Filesystem watcher and large files

Question

var fsw = new FileSystemWatcher(sPath, \"*.PPF\");
fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName;
fsw.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
fsw.Created += FswCreated;
fsw.Enable         


        

Answer 1

Simply in your fswCreated, sleep for about 1/2 seconds with Thread.Sleep(500) if thats possible. That should give you the time the computer needs to finish writing the file.

Of course, for slower hard drives, this may or may enough time.
