FileSystemWatcher - is File ready to use

Question

When a file is being copied to the file watcher folder, how can I identify whether the file is completely copied and ready to use? Because I am getting multiple events duri

Answer 1

I had this problem when writing a file. I got events before the file was fully written and closed.

The solution is to use a temporary filename and rename the file once finished. Then watch for the file rename event instead of file creation or change event.
