FileSystemWatcher files in subdirectory

Question

I\'m trying to be notified if a file is created, copied, or moved into a directory i\'m watching. I only want to be notified about the files though, not the directories.

Answer 1

Copying and moving folders

The operating system and FileSystemWatcher object interpret a cut-and-paste action or a move action as a rename action for a folder and its contents. If you cut and paste a folder with files into a folder being watched, the FileSystemWatcher object reports only the folder as new, but not its contents because they are essentially only renamed.
