filesystemwatcher

I've browsed quite a few threads on here and on other sites for solutions to this problem. Here's my FileMonitor class: class FileMonitor { public FileMonitor(String path) { try { var watcher = new FileSystemWatcher() { Path = path, IncludeSubdirectories = true, InternalBufferSize = 65536, EnableRaisingEvents = true }; watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnFileChanged); watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnFileCreated); watcher.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnFileDeleted); watcher.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(OnFileRenamed); watcher.Error += new

Has anyone used the FileSystemWatcher in framework 4 and have you encountered any problems? i am using it in a windows service and i cant afford for it to fail. I have heard from a friend that it is not very reliable but I have been testing for a few hours now and i havent had any problems but i am still doubting using it..... i would appreciate any advice on this matter, i dont want to deliver the app to the the client and then realise that this thing is going to crash.... Thanks Thanks for the advice guys i think for my purposes it should be ok. it will be checking a folder on the local

When i try to set the watcher path to a single file like so: watcher.Path = filePath1; I get the error: The directory name C:\Cromos 3.0\repository\diagnostics\dwm01_2011_06_13__09_03.LXD is invalid. Can you only set the path to a folder directory? Your error is setting the Path property with a full filename watcher.Path = Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath1); watcher.Filter = Path.GetFileName(filePath1); should work. Not related to your proper question, but, of course, as stated in below comments, it is imperative to set the EnableRaisingEvents property to true to enable the FileSystemWatcher's

How can I monitor a whole directory tree for changes in Linux ( ext3 file system)? Currently the directory contains about half a million files in about 3,000 subdirectories , organized in three directory levels. Those are mostly small files (< 1kb, some few up to 100 kb). It's a sort of queue and I need to know when files are being created, deleted or their content modified within 5-10 seconds of that happening. I know there is inotify and sorts, but AFAIK they only monitor a single directory, which means I would need 3,000 inotify handles in my case - more than the usual 1024 handles allowed

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 during file copy. (The file is copied via another program using File.Copy.) Tacroy When I ran into this problem, the best solution I came up with was to continually try to get an exclusive lock on the file; while the file is being written, the locking attempt will fail, essentially the method in this answer. Once the file isn't being written to any more, the lock will succeed. Unfortunately, the only way to do that is to wrap a

I want this work to be done in a different thread but do i have to create a thread or does it do all the work on different threads? Like: Thread fileThread = new Thread(() => { FileWatcher = new FileSystemWatcher(); FileWatcher.Created += OnFileEvent; FileWatcher.Deleted += OnFileEvent; FileWatcher.Renamed += OnRenameEvent; FileWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true; }); fileThread.Start(); You don't have to create a thread. The events will be called on a separate thread automatically. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11492720/does-filesystemwatcher-create-its-own-thread

var fsw = new FileSystemWatcher(sPath, "*.PPF"); fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName; fsw.IncludeSubdirectories = true; fsw.Created += FswCreated; fsw.EnableRaisingEvents = true; static void FswCreated(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e) { string sFile = e.FullPath; string[] arrLines = File.ReadAllLines(sFile); } this fails with large files, because the process is not finnished with writing the file. The file is copied via the Network, so i dont know the size of the file. What kind of syncronisation is required to make this robust? NickD Solution found on stackoverflow and modified it
