filesystemwatcher

I wrote a test program to monitor my Picture folder which points to c:\users[username]\Pictures and temporary internet files folder for the same user. This is program works perfectly fine if I change the folder to other location like d:\persona_pics. Any idea why events are not being raised when I set the mentioned folder to monitor? here is the code. class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //FileSystemWatcher myJpegFileWatcher = new FileSystemWatcher(@"C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\low\content.ie5\"); FileSystemWatcher myJpegFileWatcher

FileSystemWatcher does not work properly when many files are added to the directory at the same time... The Watcher simply doesn't find all the files in the directory - only if the files are placed in the folder one by one - not if lots of files are copied to the folder at the same time... Is the creation of Threads the solution to the problem or is there another way to handle the problem ? The documentation on that class details that problem: The Windows operating system notifies your component of file changes in a buffer created by the FileSystemWatcher. If there are many changes in a short

I'm trying to write a program that could monitor multiple folders for file creations and launch the same action but with different settings for each folder. My problem is in specifying an extra parameter for the FileSystemEventHandler. I create a new FileWatcher for each directory to monitor and add the handler for the Created-action: foreach (String config in configs) { ... FileWatcher.Created += new System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler(FileSystemWatcherCreated) ... } void FileSystemWatcherCreated(object sender, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs e, MySettings mSettings) { DoSomething(e.FullPath,

I have to create a program that monitors changes in file size. I already made a simple windows service and filesystemwatcher so I am now familiar w/ the concept. I also made a code that checks for the filesize (made it in a form button)but haven't yet implemented in my filesystemwatcher. How do I create a windows service that has a filewatcher that monitors the file size? Do I have to put a filesystemwatcher inside the windows service and call the watcher via the OnStart method? If you're making a Window's service, then you'll want to do it programmatically. I usually keep forms out of my

Is there a good way to get the process name that created a file in Windows? I have a directory on a Windows 2000 Server C:\WINNT\Temp that is filling up with files named like: 70618199 21834082 They are always 121,201 KB in size. Programatically can I "capture" the program name or service name that is dropping files in this location? MORE INFO: I did some more research on this. I renamed the file TIFF and was able to open it. This machine functions as a document search tool via a custom written ASP.NET app. The machine contains approx 50,000 TIFF documents on the E:\ drive. This machine also

I made a small winforms application to monitor a certain folder for new pdf files, if a new pdf file is created in the particulair folder it will copy it to an other location. The problem i'm having is that the filesystemwatcher creates double/multiple entries in my listbox, how can i solve this? namespace Scanmonitor { public partial class Form1 : Form { FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(); DateTime lastRead = DateTime.MinValue; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { FileWatch(); } public void FileWatch() { watcher.Path

I have a windows service (and verified the code by creating a similar WinForms application) where the NotifyFilter doesn't work. As soon as I remove that line of code, the service works fine and I can see the event-handler fire in the WinForms application. All I'm doing is dropping a text file into the input directory for the FileSystemWatcher to kick off the watcher_FileChanged delegate. When I have the _watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.CreationTime; in there, it doesn't work. When I pull it out, it works fine. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong with this filter? Here is the

I have two C# applications, one is reading a file (File A) line by line and writing its contents to a different file (File B). The second application is using FileSystemWatcher for File B to see when it is updated and reporting the difference is line numbers between when the program was started and when the file was changed. Thats all I am trying to do for now, ultimately I want to read the lines between when the file was last read and the current read but until I can get the line difference that is on hold. The code that I have for application 1 is; static void Main(string[] args) { String
